So I'm 18 now and butterflies scare the hell out of me. It has been that way since i was a kid and I have no idea why! Whenever I see one I would freak out and run the other direction and this only happens with butterflies!!! I'm okay with all the other insects but to me butterflies are terrifying. So is it normal for a girl to be this afraid of butterflies?

    I had this when I was little, they totally freaked me out!
    But, I overcame that fear somewhat.. they still slightly scare me though ._.

    Join the club. Except I don't mind butterflies from a good distance, they look beautiful. Moths however, make me physically sick. Can't describe my hatred for the pesky buggars!

    It's just like many people (like me) fear spiders and cockroaches and other creepy-crawlies. I know they won't hurt me, but I still freak out when I see them.
    I guess, you just have the same thing with butterflies. they're insects too and I can see how, in a way, they can be as scary as other insects are. Even though I personally like them.

    I think it's just the way storybooks and movies portray insects that make us scared of certain ones and not others. Like spiders are usually gross and evil and butterflies and ladybugs are good and pretty. That is why most people like them. But I don't think not liking them would be abnormal.

    To conquer your fear, catch one with a net, and kill it with ether in a bottle. Pin it to a board and put a label with it's genus and species underneath it.
