If you could eliminate any one type of insect permanently from the earth, what would you get rid of?

 For me, spiders come to mind right away. But that's because I'm terrified of spiders and I'm also apparently a little stupid. I think I can recall a science teacher telling me that spiders are not insects. Insects have 6 legs. Yes, that sounds right. So, something with 6 legs...there aren't too many other things that I dislike aside from spiders. I suppose cave crickets freak me out. Their exoskeletons or whatever are clear. It's gross. And creepy. But if we're being honest eliminating any one particular insect could bring down the entire world for all we know. You get rid of bees and the plants don't get pollinated and nothing grows and the whole world dies of starvation. No good.
