Is it normal, that im deathly afraid of butterflies?

I am terribly afraid of butterflies. Any insect really, but butterflies and moths scare the living daylight out of me.
When I see one of the two I completely shut down. I get terrified, I cry, I scream, I run away. I honestly can't help myself. All of my friends make fun of me. But I seriously cannot help it.
Anyone else?

    You're not the only one. My boyfriend scared of dragonfly. It seems ridiculous at first but I guess anyone have something that they are afraid of.

    I am exactly the same! One day, my friend and I were walking along a bridge where we found a giant moth sat on the wall at the side. I quickly darted from its proximity, but little did I know my friend had thrown it onto my back. He alerted me to what he had done. I slowly turned my head which slowly revealed the big, ugly moth sat on my shoulder blade which didn't only look into my eyes but looked into my soul and saw my very evident fear. I quickly whipped off my t-shirt, threw it across the road and proceeded to run for my life.

    I'm only scared of them when they fly near my face.

    I'm not afraid of them, I actually love them. But I've seen this story posted enough times to tell you that you're not alone. I don't know why people are afraid of it, but you're not the only one.
