There once was a girl named Anna-Marie
Who feared all insects — ants, roaches and bees
A fly on her nose
Sent her screaming hoarse
Leading those around her to seek therapy
(c) Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
Note: Insectophobia is the fear of insects

10 April 2015 at 11:51 amThere are so many Anna-Maries around us with their classic insectophobias! Lucky me, I’m not so bad with them. Its the lizards that give me the creeps!

10 April 2015 at 8:46 pmI can relate to it….I’ve seen some of my friends (boys & girls both) achieving great feet’s, one of them had done all the possible adventurous tasks in the world but when it comes to cockroach…she can’t take it 🙂
I too have spiderophobia 😛
