I'm scared of these bugs

Is it normal that I get scared of bugs like crickets and grasshoppers when i see them perched on things they're not camouflaged against?

Like I try to get a closer look to see if it's a bug or just a plant head, and the minute I get too close it jumps away and I shit a brick...

    It's normal when you get startled when you get close and they suddenly jump away. They are harmless though. They don't have stingers, teeth or bore into you like a musquito.

    They are harmless tho. They get startled and jump when you get too close. Tho I do like the noise they make at night. Really easy way to fall asleep.

    They are just bugs although a bit freaky to look at i will admit. I have on occasions had a grasshopper crawling on me, I don't think it bites.

      Grasshoppers are herbivores, so unless you happen to be a sentient plant, you're safe. They do feel weird when they walk on your bare skin, though, since their feet have microscopic bristles on the pad.
