Puss caterpillar
The puss caterpillar, or woolly slug, is the most poisonous caterpillar in the United States. Its poison is hidden in hollow spines among its hairs. This hairy caterpillar is found in the southern states, ranging west through most of Texas and north to Maryland and Missouri. It feeds on shade trees such as elm, oak, and sycamore. Puss caterpillars vary in size from 1.2 in.(32 mm) to 1.4 in.(36 mm).
Symptoms of puss caterpillar contact may include:
Immediate, intense pain that often comes in waves.
A swelling, itching rash of red blotches and raised ridges.
Restlessness and anxiety.
Nausea and vomiting.
Fever.
Muscle cramps.
Swollen glands.
Symptoms of shock.
If you come into contact with a puss caterpillar, remove the broken-off spines by using cellophane tape or a commercial facial peel, and call your health professional.

Probably the Mosquito, with the west nile virus going around, it is a very formidable bug. Ticks, bed bugs and black widow spiders to name a few more...

I hate SPIDERS (yes, I know, they are not bugs). The bug I hate the most are cicada killing wasps. They are massive and very scary, even though they really don't both people.

SCABIES!!!! they go under your skin and lay eggs, then you get and itchy rash and if you scratch it it only helps the scabies spread. It also can be transmitted through sexual contact with or without protection even if there is no penetration...just skin ti skin contact. EEWWWWWW. Just thinking about them remind me of those flesh eating bugs from the movie "The Mummy"
