Alligator flea, peacock spider, man-faced stinkbug, giant weta… even these names sound frightening. What if you see on of these creatures right in your house? Would you run away, scream for help or maybe squish the insect? Well, don't. They're harmless to humans and won't cause you any harm. Here're 14 insects that look absolutely creepy but don't bring any danger to your house. Some of these creatures have developed a fascinating camouflage, others have a funny mating dance. There's even one insect on our list that has really strange shapes on the tips of its wings that look like snake heads. Let's take a look… #brightside TIMESTAMPS

– Many crane flies don’t even have mouths, so they don’t eat at all, and those that have a mouthpiece will only munch on sweet flower nectar;
– A man-faced stinkbug has a “face” on its back, with three black dots drawn on red;
– The vibrant color of its back warns predators that the bug isn’t tasty or even poisonous, while the black “eyes” draw attention to them from the vulnerable head;
– Saddleback caterpillar’s name is also quite telling: it looks like some creature from another planet with a bright green saddle over its back;
– Titan beetle is the largest beetle in the whole world: it can grow as long as your entire palm, complete with fingers;
– Giant weta looks like someone forgot to lock the portal to the inferno: a massive, beefy body with six thorny legs, long alien-looking antennae, and big mandibles that just might cut steel;
– Atlas moths look like they have three heads, two of which are serpent’s;
– Peacock spiders are perhaps the cutest arachnids in the world — second maybe only to their jumping cousins;
– The speed at which hummingbird moth flutters its wings, the long tongue to drink flower nectar, and even the sound it makes when flying — all of it makes you wonder if it’s really a moth, after all;
– Long-horned orb weaver spider is one of the most unusual arachnids in the world;
– Hercules beetle is one of the largest beetles on the planet. Almost half of its size comes from that horn on its head: thanks to this wonderful appendage, you know exactly it’s a male;
– No one knows why exactly the Brazilian treehoppers have these fuzzy balls on their heads, but they’ve only got one head after all, that much is certain;
– Seeing a flying scorpion is a daunting sight at best, but fear not: these critters are small and gentle and they can’t even bite you.
– Walking sticks have developed a fascinating camouflage: they’re long and unassuming, able to stay still for hours on end, which makes them look like dry twigs; Animation is created by Bright Side.
