Sounds weird to me.

dude its not weird. i freaking hate butterflies. underneath those nice colored wings is a beady eyed worm thats hairy and ugly. i cant even imagine being touched by one. im with ya.

Normal but i dnt see why
They die after one day of being a butterfly
Getting used to them might help

Maybe a guy dressed like a butterfly did something to you?

maybe...

with crikets, preymantises and cockcroaches ill hyperventilate, cry, scream, sprint for my life, and lock my self in another room :D sometimes fall on the ground and hide against a wall hahahaha

but i think thats coz my mum chases me with them to...to try and help..?? O.o

so yeah, i agree, maybe a guy in a butterfly suit did do something :/

While I don't have this problem, one of my really good friends is terrified of them. She doesn't mind fake ones, she wears butterfly hair clips, has butterfly patterned tops etc. but the other day we were walking and on seeing a butterfly she screamed, grabbed my arm, hid behind me and shrieked "get it away from me, get it away!"

My older brother is terrified of butterflies. When we were teenagers, I had to do a bug collection for school and had a whole mess of butterflies in my room. Haha when I found out about his fear I put them all over his bed. HYSTERICAL!!!

i'm not afraid of butterflies now rats scare me to death.

I'm afraid of nearly all insects and arachnids etc., and I went to a butterfly farm once where they had these huge big exotic butterflies and freaked out so much i had to stay in the gift shop all the time >___

I am scared of those friggin' insects too!! Just knowing how they look up close is what makes me scared of them. *shiver* I think some may look nice, sometimes, but for the most part, I get scared and usually flinch and try to dodge the butterflies I see.

I'm afraid of bugs in masses. I like them when there are not many. :|

I am super terrified of butterflies ! whenever I saw em floating around or sticking on the walls I can almost feel their presence in my shirt , freaky ! there's this time when I saw a big butterfly in a room , I didn't enter the specific room for a month , people think I'm faking it , but I am not !

Yes, normal as far as phobias go. I'm that way with spiders.

Butterflies feed on the sugar rich body fluids of rotting corpses.

My sister has a butterfly phobia too -.-
She would kill herself 10 times before she went into a butterfly house. Don't worry about it :D

Butterfly houses are cool except for the fact that the workers will yell at you if you come within a foot of a butterfly.

Yeah. I have that prooblem too. It goes with my phobia with bugs.

i can't even describe how scared i am of butterflies and moths. they're disgusting. they're so weird.. flapping their gross wings around.. ughghgh i'm getting shivers.
my friends went into a butterfly house and tried to make me go in. i sat outside pretty much shaking while they laughed at me...

Phobias are completely normal. This isn't that strange. Personally I'm not afraid of butterflies, I realize they are horridly ugly creatures and I sould include them in my bug phobia, but I cannot be frightened of them. this si nomrla and not surprising. People have all kinds of fears. I'v heard much worse. :)

Author not yet reply and I am wondering if he reads comments being posted.
I used to think butterflies and dragonflies too, are ugly creatures because they fly by pass you without you being aware or not. But when I started to understand that they are perfectly harmless insects, i guess it's okay to admire them in front of you.

I am more terrified of moths, especially the fat hairy looking ones. At night if they come in the open bedroom window attracted to the light I have to get rid of them before I can go to sleep. I then find it hard to sleep all night in case it comes back or another one comes in. I hate the fast crawling legs and the dusty powdery wings they have. I am getting anxious just thinking about them. sometimes when I look out the window at night I can see them flying towards the street lamp on my corner and even that gets me totally creeped out.

i too hate them damn over rated six legged two winged freaks

i just don't like them

they're cockroaches with better colourful wings

man and they flutter like little devils

its nt weird at al der kinda weird i tink :)

i was told butterflies make you go blind if they fly in your eye

It's normal. I'm terrified of cicadas. They stick onto your shirt and sometimes their legs are still attached to the fabric when someone pulls that bug away. I have a feeling that next time I see one, I'll run away like my life depended on it.

i've never really thought about butterflies being scary, but now that i read your post and think about it, yes they are disgusting insects with pretty wings. people always say " ohhhh look at the pretty butterfly" cause they got real pretty wings, but really underneath they are ugly insects. i'm terrified of roaches though, i mean i totally freak out whenever i see one, i scream and get histerical.
