"Get him!" Or "Kill him!" Or "Do you see him? Where did he go?" Why does it have to be a "he" or a "him?" Why can't the thing be a girl? There are girl insects you know. ( ^ _ ^ )

If it was a girl bug, it would be wearing a dress.

Because they are creepy! Now I hear this is the year for the cicadas to come out again. Wow. Once every 7 years these orange and black locust things appear from underground. They swarm in masses. You already know... I don't even go outside when them things rear their ugly heads.
And NO.... I don't care if they are harmless... They are creepy and freaky...

Insects are usually aggravating and annoying, that should be enough of an explanation to why people say "he."

I usually say "it"...but anyway its the same way men call cars "she". Men think they can control. People think bugs are scary and thats usually the men :D...and what someone else said about being annoying as well...

Only GOOD bugs are lady bugs.

Haha

Almost all bees and wasps and hornets are female.
