Is it normal that i'm afraid of butterflies?

I am terrified of Butterflies. They are nice to look at, but the thought of one landing on me or touching me just freaks me out. So, is it normal?

    I really don't trust their haphazard flight pattern it's like they might land in your mouth or ears. I am extremely freaked out by them, so its alright, its normal.

    Butterflies are awsome because they drink the blood of dead things. True fact. Look it up.

    I don't think its normal to be afraid of a butterfly................................ Would you find it normal to be afraid of Clowns? The name of this phobia is called Mottephobia

    No, butterflies are harmless, and one of the few beautiful insects, I welcome them to land on me anytime and maybe even pose for a picture.

    This post reminds me of the Spongebob episode where the butterfly terrorizes Bikini Bottom. ;)

    I actually really like butterflies, but moths kind of scare me for some reason.

    they come off as strange due to their bright colors and textures. nature made them that way to look unappealing to predators.
    even though they're harmless, it still feels weird when they are near you.

    Ugh yes. I hate any flying thing that gets too close to me. Birds, flies, moths, etc.

    Though I'm not actually terrified and they're fine from afar, you are normal.

      What do you think caterpillars turn into? They are all in the Order: Lepidoptera, the Butterflies and Moths.
      Also, please try to learn what "bugs" are, before you berate all insects.

        I know exactly what caterpillars turn into. I don't care enough to learn the difference between bugs and insects, so "berate" I shall.

        Thanks for your concern though.

          Berate that which you know little about at your own peril. Without insects, we could not survive. Yet there are others that can cause you great harm or kill you. Knowing which is which might just save your life one day.

    Same here, but it's different. I don't like them flying near my face.

    Butterflies have nice wings but their body is disgusting, like most insects. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of butterflies but definitely I dislike them. When I was a child I used to like them and let them touch me though.

    I'm not keen on insects at all but the only ones I'd allow on me are butterflies, ladybirds, tarantulas, and maybe some kind of beetles. Completely irrational, I know. Especially as I wouldn't want a moth on me.
