Americans are so squicked about insects because, for the majority of us, the only insects we ever encounter are cockroaches and flies, and perhaps wasps or butterflies. (Disgusting pests, poisonous pests, or Pretties, in other words). People don't want to eat things that live on garbage, sting them, or are particularly beautiful.
