Why is Cockroach Scary?
WouterCockroaches can be scary for many people. Some people are completely paralyzed by their fear of cockroaches, and others are equally frightened of spiders. For these people, there are a few options available for dealing with their fear. One option is to seek therapy. The standard therapy for phobias involves exposure therapy.
Typically, roaches are nocturnal, which means they spend the majority of their day feeding on insects. If you see them during the day, it could be an indicator of an infestation. Cockroaches tend to hide in dark, moist places. They also have the ability to flatten their bodies so that they fit into small spaces, like cracks in walls.
Some people suffer from katsaridaphobia, a condition that is characterized by a persistent fear of cockroaches. They may even have frightening dreams about cockroaches or exhibit irrational behaviors when they are around cockroaches. People with cockroach phobia may not even be able to function normally, and they may even seek therapy.
The movie also explores the positive associations cockroaches have with humans, such as lust for immortality. The entomologist Dr. Morgan Hubbard is described as “mad” and inhuman in The Nest, and his obsession with the cockroaches reveals that he is obsessed with the cockroaches. The film also explores the human urge to be immortal and normalizes the power of an id bent on self-satisfaction.
