Q: What is the scariest insect you've come in contact with in China?
A while ago someone asked what the poisonous spiders were in China. So now I'm asking what are your most dangerous critter encounters?
I had a run in with a wolf spider, which are supposed to be more dangerous here. It lived in my room for 3 days before I killed it. One time I came in my room and it was high up on the wall, it was horrible. I knocked it down with my room and squashed it against the wall until it stopped moving. I stomped on it a few times for good measure.
There is also a bee nest next to my air conditioner outside. They're that giant type of giant hornet. Luckily I have not had a problem with those things, I keep out of their way, and they don't bother me. Luckily it is getting colder outside.

I got bit by a tarantula, but luckily it was fried on a stick and it was my fault because I bit the wrong way.
I have yet to come across any scary insects, which is disappointing. 
One of my hobbies is entomology.
One of these in Zhejiang Province

10 inch centipede. I was too scared to step on it because I didn't think I was heavy enough to kill it.
I saw one of those centipede's in my old apartment. I was freaked, there were so many legs...
I used to have quite a lot of cockroaches too but found some poison to feed them.
Agree about the mozzies. not the scariest to most but statistically the most likely do do you in. Malaria, Dengue amoung other things.
I've seen lots of BIG ASS spiders (they just freak me out) ad the centipedes but thank Christ nothing close to 10"!!
