Sometimes I wish my little Chloe was a bit braver with the bugs! She is absolutely TERRIFIED of house flies. And I do mean TERRIFIED! If she sees or hears one, she absolutely COWERS and shakes. She'll run and hide behind/under any piece of furniture she can find and generally just leaves the room altogether. Even after we've finally managed to kill the fly, it takes at least an hour or two for her to recover from (or forget) the experience.
As far as I know, she's never been bitten by a fly or any other insect, so the only thing I can think is that the loud buzzing by her sensitive ears freaks her out. It's always a little funny at first, but really, it breaks my heart to see her so scared and I can't explain to her that the fly (while gross) won't actually hurt her. I wish there were some way I could "socialize" her with flies, haha!
