I fear of centipedes... Those ugly creatures are really scary! I've read once that some of them are poisonous. Some centipedes are really big - up to 10 cm long. The other thing I fear is depth. It's not a fear of water, I'm a good swimmer, but when it's too deep I try to get out of there as soon as possible.
