Sharks? I refuse to go into the ocean unless I can see my two feet at the bottom. Call me paranoid but whatever!
Gotta ask: what sort of "fear" are yall talking about? The "oh **** that, better kill it" kind o' fear; or the "ooooh, better run & squeal" type? From the responses so far, it's hard to tell.
either way, I hope the six votes for mice consists of the entire female contigent of clutchfans.. otherwise.....
I really hate spiders. I broke one of the support beams on our bed recently because I jumped up to kill a spider on the ceiling. There's no way in hell I could have slept knowing that little b*stard was up there.
its between spiders and snakes. I cant take very small spiders, but like tarantulas im very scared of them. I would say (from the list) 1. spiders 2. snakes 3. mice or rats 4. cave crickets (Im not afraid of them)

crickets that live in dark enclosures. You frequently find them under houses. When you at first don't know what they are, they look like creepy spiders in the dark. http://tinyurl.com/ydwvdus
certain spiders in certain places are a concern (I've a friend who is recovering from a serious spider bite) , but I mostly would be more concerned about running into a rattlesnake or a cottonmouth.
From this poll, snakes, I was bit by a Copperhead when I was younger. I had to get all kinds of shots, and was sick as a dog for 4 days. What really freaks me out are bulls, and cows. I was raised on a farm, and my Grandfather bred Brahma Bulls, they are some scary beast. Also, just plain ol' cows freak me out too, that dead stare that they have makes me uneasy.
