23DN4L a tick could dry up humans if they are larger, same with mosquitoes. Fleas have this energy storage thing that could multiply their speed. That's why they could easily jump 100x their height, or flip a coin if you put it over them.

    23DN4L there are also obvious ones like black widows, tarantulas and bullet ants. Black widows and bullet ants could already kill humans from their original size.

        How about attacked by mob?
        Mob of insect is more scary than one insect with OP defense

        checkm8 0.0 I read the entire list and oh man oh man. Thanks for these. I definitely wanna use them in my story; especially the waterbug. Wink wink, you might find it in a chapter soon.

        But ugh that scorpion arachnid will haunt my dreams tonight. Thanks a lot. (Sobs)

            You’ve listed a lot of good creepers.
            Fun Fac: The black widows favorite form of birth control is eating their mate after first pregnancy. #tilldeathdoyoupart

            Bullets ants are the cowboys of the wild world shooting people up with their sting. They don’t even need a gun and hands. Them and fire ants are the reason I’m afraid of all ants.

                Indeed! That would be horrific! I almost want to wear earmuffs while sleeping now.

                    Jinu_June Lizards can be scary. I don’t know if it’s a lizard, but Komodo Dragons creep me out. Big enough to eat me too.

                        23DN4L centipede! with its many legs, no matter how fast you run, it still can catch you Muahahaha

                        I can recommend a manga with similar type with your story: Kyochuu Rettou
                        That manga also tells about a bunch survivor from the wrecked ship that landed on a mysterious island that filled with giant insect

                            Jinu_June there's only one place where comodo dragon can be seen in their natural habitat, or else you can only see them in certain zoo, like zoo in Rotterdam, Sydney and Singapore 😊

                                23DN4L Anyway komodo dragons are not common as garden lizards right? Then how could you get frightened so much? It is rare to have it around your surroundings right? There is little chance of it coming after you. But lizards can get to you easily.

                                    Jinu_June yes, it can be seen as giant lizard. Somehow different with thread starter ask, which is insect

                                        LetThereBeMagic leeches isn't that scary, in fact they even used in medical world.
                                        Traditionally, leech can be used to suck dirty blood from ulcers or abscess.

                                          The more legs the creepier. Spiders, centipedes, millipedes. Aside from that, worms are creepy. Anything that wriggles. If you want it to be creep you can make it burrow into people? Like a centipede that crawls into people's veins or something.
