I caught a couple of giant millepedes when i was in africa
they were really rather sweet!

Insects are fascinating as long as they aren't in my mouth/bed/pants

No, they get all scared and curl up in a nice neat little ball
Also their feet tickle

Millipedes are fine
They just look like really long woodlice and I'm fine with that. Centipedes are upsetting for some reason.

(Edit: Also, neither of them are actually insects - they are myriapods, which I think is an awesome name.)

Fair enough, for the sake of argument they can be lumped together today
I love woodlice, best of all the lice

Ah, well woodlice are crustaceans
So probably more closely related to crabs than millipedes or insects.

("Arthropods" will cover all the creatures listed thus far, I think.)

In that case i love arthropods
Funnily enough I had a pet crab on a holiday to Devon when I was little which i called Arthur
