Driven From My Bed At 1Am

[barry1010]

by a blerdy bob howler, they give me the heebie jeebies. Is the noise and the thought of them round my face. It was the size of a squirrel and as loud as a helicopter.

What creeps you out?

[naomi24]

What’s a bob howler?

[Gettingonabit]

What's a bob howler?

[MargoTester]

A big moth according to google

[barry1010]

The biggest, hairiest moth on the planet

[1ozzy]

Well just splatter the ***!

Man versus moth?

[barry1010]

It would be like splattering a cat - think of the mess. Bleurgh
Anyway, they have fangs and claws

[LadyCG]

Holes creep me out. Trypophobia.

Never google "Suriname toad gives birth".

I did and felt physically sick for 48 hours.

[piggynose]

I'm sure 1ozzy seen or heard far worse!

[William51]

The howls of Foxes, especially when they are mating which is a horrible noise.

[naomi24]

I wouldn’t like that - or any creature - buzzing round me either. Did you get it in a glass and put it outside?

[barry1010]

The sound carries for miles, William.

[barry1010]

No, my wife managed to flap it out of the window, she's a brave soul

[ClareTG0ld]

Could be worse -- I was relaxing in the living room one afternoon last week, when I heard a loud racket outside because the guy opposite was trimming the hedge.

Then I realised it was a hornet that had got inside.

[naomi24]

How are you with spiders? I confess, apart from flies, spiders are the only creatures I splatter - or more often than not suck up the hoover. I simply cannot deal with them.

[1ozzy]

Thank goodness your wife has some balls Barry ;-)

[barry1010]

I like spiders, we have a couple of resident spiders that like to live under my tv stand. They must be in their 20s now :D

[barry1010]

I haven't noticed hornets being particularly noisy, Clare

[LadyCG]

I got chased round the villa in Spain by a bat in broad daylight once. I thought it was a bird at first.

I later spotted the bat hanging upside down on the wall outside and two days later it hadn't moved so I plucked up the courage to poke it with a broom and it was dead.

[barry1010]

LadyCG, I had a bat in the bedroom a good few years ago. We decamped, opened all the bedroom windows and shut the door firmly. It managed to find its own way out.
Also had an injured bat in the garden, it couldn't fly. I assume it got eaten

[LadyCG]

Barry, it still makes me shudder now when I think of it. I got up really close to it, before realising it was not a bird.

The dog was useless!
