This question probably only applies to people who have this particular fear (fear of insects, creepy crawlies) but feel free to answer regardless.
Have you ever played a game which has been able to stimulate fear in you through creepy crawlies or other insects? Whether it be through giving you the shivers or downright causing you to turn off the game, it's all fair as long as it has been able to scare you.
The only ones I can think of are the spiders from System Shock 2 but not by much. Bonus points if you can name any non-horror games.

He had a blast, could play trough the entire single player storyline by himself with no problems.
Well, escept for that little cave in the first map that was really dark and had a bunch off giggis crawling around.
for some reason, he could face giant dragons with no problems, but tiny ass giggis tumbling in his direction really fucked him up. He got all defensive around them, to the point of sometimes running away from the mostly harmless monsters.
And no, he didn't have as much trouble against gigginox itself(didn't like it very much, though, always had a comment to make when it laid eggs). It was just the giggis, specially in the dark cave but not exclusively there.

I hate touching bugs irl. Even a ladybug or rolypoly on my hand gives me the creeps, and I always have to wash my hands right away. I grew up in an environment where mosquitos were everywhere outside and, at one point, the house's furniture got infested with bedbugs. Bloody bloodsuckers, fucking everywhere.
My cousins don't mind touching bugs though. But then, they live in apartments full of cockroaches, so I guess they've gotten use to it. My last experience with insects was when I caught this grasshopper with plastic gloves and a plastic cup. I saw the beady look in its eyes. Its face was so fucking unnatural the way it stared back and it gave me goosebumps all over. I knew then, I would always hate bugs for the rest of my life.
But strangely enough, I don't mind them at all when I see them in games. Like Twilight Princess, where one of the side quests is to collect bugs for this one girl's collection. I guess it's because I'm not actually touching a bug irl, but just a plastic controller and looking at fictional images of them onscreen.
TL;DR: I can deal with vidya bugs. Just not real bugs though.

Even with worms I feel disgusted hooking them, especially since they have hooks of their own which dig into my skin ever so slightly.

I am revolted by insects, particularly beetles and roaches. Usually I am quite detached from games and most things don't bother me, but there's a part in RE7 where you have to fight a broad that controls swarms of bugs and they crawl all over your screen. I wasn't playing the game, just watching a video of it (because I don't really have that much interest in playing it), but it bothered me anyway and I could imagine if I were playing the game that might make me want to nope the fuck out.

I sorta get what you mean. I don't get spooked by bugs but I really dislike touching them or having them crawl on me, I've done a little bit of beekeeping so I know to just move slowly when it comes to bees but even spiders I know are harmless (living in a colder climate there's nothing particularity venomous out here) I don't like crawling on me even if I don't mind observing them when I find em at work or something.
Hell when I was young I figured a way to push other bugs like ants and flies into spider nests and that was pretty cool to watch but if I happened to pass through a spiders web, the sensation on the skin really doesn't sit right with me and kinda gives me a bit of the willies

Same with me, but it's just spiders. I don't like touching bugs, but I can do it. Also heights - I get woozy just by standing near the railings on the roof, but I actually fucking love dropping off the high places in vidya. However, I have one real proper phobia - jellyfish. I can't even imagine touching one IRL, I can't even look at photos of them (at least real/realistic ones). Back when I was playing San Andreas, I was training swimming for that one mission in some fucking puddle in the park. That sea nettle jellyfish from standard pictures on Windows XP is bane of my existence because people keep using it as avatar. I don't even live anywhere near them, I'm at the farthest place away from any sea right now. I even almost changed my thoughts on global warming when I heard that it will lead to increased jellyfish population. On the other hand, I can name every single jellyfish species in the Black sea.

I agree its really just a glorified rooster or dog fight, you know a society's hitting a new low when it uses living things killing each other (on purpose in a tiny controlled environment, I dont have a problem with the laws of nature) for entertainment, its a kind of situation that's even parodied/portrayed as degenerate in many western shows and movies.
I really fucking hope any arthropods fearer reading this at least appreciates frogs since they mostly feed on bugs and other arthropods.

Oh, forgot to post the biggest spider in the world. The Goliath Bird Eating Spider weighs about a pound and resides in the South American rain forests. Its main diet isn't actually spiders, but it does eat them. It defends itself with the hair on its legs. It rubs its legs together so fast, the hairs fly out and if they get in your eye it's going to hurt for days. It can still bite and that'd be much more severe, but I'd prefer a rash over a bite. The females will actually carry the egg sac with them like Santa carrying presents until they all hatch, so they're a good mama.

Spiders and insects lack sapience and self-awareness, and by virtue of having specced into the evolutionary equivalent of a pubstomper they cannot evolve to have more of it because the peak of their biological path is an organism simple enough to be replicated hundreds of times in a single breeding season, yet resilient enough to endure the loss of multiple limbs without being crippled.
Humans (and other social mammals, to an extent) are like the Protoss, in that they're literally defenseless for the better part of a decade while still being ravenous for resources/nutrition, but become unstoppable once all the bizarre racial traits like "language" and "teamwork" and "tools" begin to be exploited.
An unrelated quirk I find cool is that species of spiders which reproduce via mating dances and other courtship rituals can actually self-select themselves into evolutionary paths which reward flamboyance rather than survival skills, assuming the potential mate is at least competent enough to survive to sexual maturity.

This has been proven false multiple times for 6 years now. Ever since we've invented a needle that can penetrate a bug's carapace without severely crippling their life functions or turning their floating semi-liquid nodes to mush we've been able to pinpoint and accurately determine how they function. Jumping spiders were one of the first and they are fully cognizant of their surroundings. They even memorize and map a fully 3-dimensional environment in their head the same way you do.
Fun fact when a Jumping Spider is looking at you, it is looking at you and fully recognizes you as being alive from sight. It even accurately determines what parts of your face is your face. The limitations of it's size is on how long it takes for it to do this, what takes you seconds takes it several minutes.
Experiments on mere flies have even allowed us to figure out that insects do in fact have memory, that pretty much any insect that moves in 3-dimensions and isn't permanently stuck walking has a sense of self and in fact this sense of self is necessary to even be able to move properly 3-dimensionally, and finally ants, termites, bees, and cockroaches use scent to enhance their capacity for thought.

They aren't dangerous to humans if they bite you (unlike the rest of the Aussie spiders), their size and high speed make them intimidating though.

There's a reason they're so popular in Asia. The bugmen among us will still defend it though.

>So, after mammals go extinct, bugs will be the next intelligent ones to rule the world?
No. Having intelligent traits in the insect world comes at a price for example: All flying insects have a Sense of Self because they need it to fly but they lose pretty much all shortcuts non-flying insects have to navigate, walk, stand upright, etc., etc. because they need as much of their neurons as they can afford dedicated to that Sense of Self. If they were to ever lose the parts of their nervous system dedicated to this they become absolutely helpless in every sense of the word, they can't even walk let alone stand upright if they try to move.

This happened back when I still had crippling arachnophobia.
I pretty much don't care about bugs any more, I always catch them in my house and put them back outside, jumping spiders I just let them do their own thing.
What's annoying is how spiders in my house regularly hang from the ceiling in the middle of a room or hallway like they're waiting for you to walk face first into them. I don't know if they do it on hot days to stay cool or if they're intentionally trying to hitch a ride.

I'm pretty sure that tarantula's back end got cut in half, that pattern looks like it's innards had hardened over.

One of the largest tarantulas, called the T. Blondi makes a rattling hissing noise as it moves because the spiny hairs under it rub together like a grasshopper's legs to produce sound.

It annoys me how people balk at the idea of eating something intelligent but have no qualms about eating calamari. Cephalopods have been shown to not only learn through observation of other cephalopods, they can utilize objects as tools or shelter, recognize shapes and colors, and utilize both in patterns for communication. If there was any other species we could probably communicate with, it would be cephalopods.

Reminds me of the one time I woke up to a slightly stinging sensation on my eyelid. Turns out it was a slightly larger spider which apparently had decided to take a walk across it, and spent the next thirty seconds racing across my face before I could shake it off.

Nature is much better at perversion.

Yes, hence coprophilia and necrophilia and foot fetishism, among others.

If evolution exists than the ecosystem will adapt itself naturally. If Wasps were not eating the cockroaches, that simply leaves less competition for other predators.

I've never had either phobias. In fact, I used to regularly throw ants into spiders webs as a child. I am however, deftly afraid of parasites and the like. I dislike the idea of foreign entities living inside me using my flesh as a home. I've only ever been mildly unnerved by this in vidya, with the plagas from RE4, the flood from halo, a few enemies from parasite eve, and the dividers from dead space to name a few. I've never seen a played to the point that is bothers me as much as real life.

>To have his work compared so fawningly to battles with some of Rome’s most notorious mythological beast sheds some light on the astounding work Carpophorus was doing within the arena, but he gained fame as well for his animal work behind the scenes. Perhaps most shockingly, it was said that he was among the few bestiarii who could command animals to rape human beings, including bulls, zebras, stallions, wild boars and giraffes, among others. This crowd-pleasing trick allowed his editors to create ludi meridiani that could not only combine sex and death but also claim to be honoring the god Jupiter. After all, in Roman mythology, Jupiter took many animal forms to have his way with human women.
>Historians still debate how common of an occurrence public bestiality was at the Roman Games — and especially whether forced bestiality was used as a form of execution — but poets and artists of the time wrote and painted about the spectacle with a shocked awe.
