Movement read — Flight, chase, stillness, or sound from the insect tilts fear vs awe. Scale of threat — Size and teeth/claws (or their absence) calibrate vulnerability vs power. Human relation — Pet, predator, herd member, or pest—your role toward insect matters. Ecology hint — Habitat in the dream (home, forest, water) grounds the insect in waking context.

Footing lost — Sudden drop—not gradual decline. Catch panic — Witness agency under time pressure. Impact fear — Consequence at bottom. Height scale — Balcony vs cliff calibrates stakes. Gravity return — Idealism meets ground.
