There are TONS of bugs, and I hate each and every one of them...
Spiders are probably the worst - they get VERY big because there are so many bugs for them to eat, they have two body segments with hard shells... they burst when you step on them - need I say more?!? The only good thing about them is they kill the other smaller bugs with their massive webs that are located EVERYWHERE :-(
Mayflies are also really bad, with the additional name of "snap, crackle and pop bugs" due to the sound they make when you step on them... um, disturbing?!? An additional reason they are bad is they stick to anything they are thrown to (eg. people)... many crew members of mine LOVED to throw them (they travel far) or place them on their shirt as a "pet"
As for the others, there's a bee here and there, some butterflies (these I like), those manbugs (they ladybug looking creatures that are mean), ants, flies, the list goes on and on...
Oh, and we (well, they) had a pet mantis mascot last year, I'm still not sure how I feel about that one
Hey, I wasn't voted least likely to kill an ant for nothing!! :-)

Spiders dominate Cedars. Take this story as a "primary source" example for your query.
I used to have a fear of spiders. Working at Cedar Point changed this irrational fear of mine permanently. I always felt shivers walking to my room my first year at the park because, as previously mentioned, huge spider webs hung everywhere. Large, black, shiny spiders perched upon these webs. The outside hallways started to uncannily resemble the mansion on "The Addams Family." Finding wherewithal to walk quickly to my room did not present me with much of a fear-conquering challenge. Moving swiftly precluded any prolonged contact. Nothing, however, could prepare me for the fateful morning in the middle of my first summer. When I woke up from a whiskey-induced oblivion courtesy of "Louies" the night before, my schorched, sallowed eyes tried focusing on anything. I desperately needed to situate myself amid my rhythmically throbbing hangover. My eyes focused on a spider...dangling two inches from my face. Startled, I snatched my pillow and swatted it away. I looked back up, completely alert after my act of heroism, to find that three other spiders had worked hard all night to make several large webs above my bed. I felt as if I had stumbled into some cheesy late-eighties forror flick. This experience left me slighlty out of kilter for the duration of the morning. This experience also made every spider encounter since then seem inconsequential and harmless.
Perhaps you ought to avoid Cedars.
