Smile creepy crawlies and other scary stuff

ok, here's something truly off topic. i thought it would be cool for people to post the stuff that scares the crap out of them. for me it's this:

http://www.aqua.org/animals/species/venom/goltarantula.html

Goliath bird-eating tarantula
Theraphosa blondi
Size: 25 cm (10 in) across
Range: Surinam, Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela


Tarantula music? This large spider makes the most noise - a hissing sound that can frighten attackers. If that doesn't work, it is likely to flick irritating hairs from its abdomen at an attacker, causing an extremely itchy rash. Though it will bite, most problems in humans come from infections in the wound rather than the venom.

i don't know about everyone else, but that's just way too creepy and crawly for me.
