Entomophobia (also known as insectophobia) is the abnormal fear of or aversion to
insects and similar
arthropods, and even other "bugs", such as worms. Commonly, this condition might be referred to as the "fear of insects or bugs". This condition causes a slight to severe emotional reaction, a form of
anxiety or a
panic attack. It is a particular case of
specific phobias, all of which have basically the same causes (differing mostly in the source of
phobia) and similar choices of treatments.
