Horrified by flying bugs/insects

I've never been stung, neither have I ever had a traumatizing experience with flying insects. I'm really, absolutely, tremendously, unbelievably horrified by flying insects. I can't stand them. If they're in the room I'm in I have to get out. If it's just a musquito I don't really mind (sometimes), but if it is / if I think it is a wasp or a bee I run away like a bitch and everyone thinks I'm crazy. At first I didn't mind, but now I'm starting to get nightmares and sometimes being unable to sleep because of just thinking about flying bugs, especially wasps. What do I need to do now and do more people have this fear? I've looked it up, it's called entomophobia. I'm also deathly afraid of butterflies and moths. If it's a small fly, I can just kill it, you'll say, but I'm too afraid of killing something, because it's just too sad. I'm honestly really afraid. Do I need help? It's more than just a "temporary phobia".

    Pretend you are eating them on a shish kebab.

    Normal. Wasps are the worst, although you stand a better chance of not getting stung if you don't provoke them. Mosquitos are bloodsuckers, take a look at a closeup of them sticking their syringe into skin and sucking out the blood -- its criminal ! I HATE when they buzz in my ear

    Moths and butterflies, can look a bit weird but are harmless fellows

    I hate them too. I don't think its a phobia cause being scared of things that can hurt you isn't irrational. Bees and wasps can hurt you and kill you if you're allergic.

      You just made it worse! I don't know if I'm allergic, so I can die now? WTF

        You probably aren't allergic, but if you're worried about it, you can go to a doctor to have an allergen test performed.

    I hate bugs. Like for example cockaroaches. I'm scared of them. The small ones and the tiny ones aren't a problem but the large ones. OMFG If I see one then I run away screaming loudly and I'll jump on anyone near me. Idc who they're. One time my crush ran over to see what it was and I screaming and running away and I jumped on him and he caught me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and cried. He just rubbed my back and comforted me. That was like in elementary. (Bruh....all that up there was off topic but yeah) But now I'm in middle school and like outside my house is like their home. I'm like deathly afraid of anything related to them. Oh and this one time I was resting on my couch and then I heard this thud near me. I was just going to ignore it but something told me to open my eyes. I opened them and I saw this huge fat Palmetto bug. I jumped up and screamed running into my parents room. Idk how it got into the house. What if I didn't open my eyes and I kept on resting. So those are my stories. I have one more but this reply is getting to long. The conclusion is its okay to be scared of em. People say we could just step on them but we can't! They can fly and bite us. They carry disease and all. (Btw sorry for this long explanation)

    Study them. Learn to tolerate them in pictures. The more you understand their behavior the less you will be bothered by them existing in this world.

    It is normal to be startled by them, but not to fear them.

      No hahaha, I'm from the Netherlands. We don't have giant ones, but where I live we do have a lot of wasps, bees and musquitoes.
