Any exotic insect makes me pee my pants. Also giant moths.

nah, they're harmless! short lifespan as well.
Spiders and moths - especially the big, hairy ones.
Can't comment on sharks because I've never seen
one in real life but not too keen on wild dogs either.

I'm a germophobe, so not keen on the rest of the list,
but not terrified like i am of the above.

Urgh tell me about it!

I have an interesting story about that actually...
I was lying on my bed with the lights off, with
my phone screen being the only source of light
when I sensed something brush against my arm
and crawl up the left side of my pillow right next
to my head! At this point, I froze and was a bit in
disbelief at what I witnessed out the corner of my
eye, as I never knew if a spider would crawl up
the bed like that, especially so close to me...
anyway I switched the light on, and there it was
running up my wall, confirming all my worst fears!!!
...a HUMUNGOUS WOLF/HUNTSMAN SPIDER.

I swear this thing was as big as my hand and was
casually roaming around my room. A few screams
and shrieks later, I did however hoover it up (sorry
to my fellow arachnid lovers), and have been
traumatised ever since...(keep in my mind this only
happened about 3 weeks ago).

And as for the vote - Already have :wink:

they're definitely scarier than Tarantulas, they're longer and skinnier.

I had something similar happen to me. I was laying in bed with my iPad as the only source of light. All of a sudden I see something dark in colour run across my pillow from the corner of my eye. I immediately got out of bed (it’s the quickest I’ve EVER gotten out of bed). It was one of those brown house spiders you find in the UK but I find those terrifying.
@Fox Corner scares the poop out of me...



....also snakes
I'm not scared of any animals really unless they're inside my house. At that point, they're invading my space and I'm terrified.
