Find your Phobias and their scientific names and report back with your progress.

Spiders = Arachnophobia

Wet dreams = Oneirogmophobia

I'm done.
Yes I know you aint scared of nothing but you never know...

I have nyctophobia. Seriously.

That's a silly name for it.

It;s not irrational, how would you like to be an 8 year old child covered in ladybirds?

*shudder*

I do remember a while back when there was a sudden influx of them. You couldn’t step outside without literally hundreds of them landing on you.

I bet you didn’t step outside that summer, did you?

And how about, "flutteryphobia"?

I found a dead spider under my desk. The first sighting in my household for some time. It was dead but I still pooped.

And it was the biggest spider ever.

My grandad aint scared of insects in the least.

But.....he said he seen something like a catterpiller/spider/with a few legs/on weels crawl under his couch. And he was a bit alarmed.

yeah, but it must have been about 18 years ago now.

Ah, I think I'm thinking of France, it happened there too.

are you sure it was a dead spider and not just a skin shed by a spider that was too small for it?

Yeah, the real one is still alive in your house somewhere.

Dunno Im too tightly wrapped in a quilt at the mo.

Thanks a bunch.
