Long story, short version... I used to feed one peanut butter packets at my first job because it was staying inside A warehouse where I worked. Then one day I came out of my office walking into the warehouse and it was staring at me so I ran back in my office and it ran after me then stood outside my door. I was working alone so had to call my boss crying that I was being trapped by a squirrel. I never lived it down as long as worked there...still afraid of squirrels all these years later.
They think all insects are out for human blood, will bite them or jump on them. They don't realize creepy crawlers are just trying to get through the day like all of us. Raising their young and looking for food...not humans by the way.
It is reliably reported that Mumtaz Mahal deplored having so few orifices for the pleasure of her love, Shah Jahan. Perhaps your speculation sits atop a shaky foundation.
