A new word...

[fajrdrako]

I learned a new word today: ophidiophobia - fear of snakes. Not something I suffer from; I like snakes very much indeed. I think they are beautiful. I ought to be in Slytherin House.

But it's great to know the word now.

I have my own blind spots - I don't much like fish, however pretty or colourful, or however graceful their movements. But it isn't that I'm afraid of them - I just don't find them attractive to look at.

I have a problem with spiders and creepy-crawlies, but that's because other kids used to put them in my desk and down my neck when I was at school.

Yuck! I never had that problem, but I generally find all insects and such things ugly. Not a phobia, just an aesthetic distaste.

Some are pretty. I like moths and butterflies, and some beetles (especially the iridescent ones).

Ladybugs are pretty enough. And some butterflies, as long as I don't look at their legs.
