Even the most unpleasant-looking insect does not cause panic in a normal person. But people suffering from insectophobia, one memory of the bite of a mosquito or a bee can unbalance. Any insect seems to them an enemy that can cause irreparable harm to all mankind.
Why is man afraid of insects?
Insectophobia and entomophobia are different names for the same problem, which is the fear of insects. And if for a particular person it simply does not exist, then this does not mean its absence for another, frightened in childhood by a huge bumblebee or a terrible spider.
The roots of a variety of phobias should be sought precisely in childhood, when at the time of cognition of the world, some inhabitants of the globe seem attractive to the child, and some terrifying. Tales and films in which insects were negative characters can have an impact on the fragile children's psyche.
Computer games and horror films are especially dangerous in this regard. If the fairy tale read can be analyzed and a useful lesson learned from it, then the situation with the so-called horror films is much worse.
Seeing with their own eyes on the screen giant insects that deliberately attack people and destroy everything in their path, a child with a weak psyche begins to experience fear. In the absence of parents, he becomes especially vulnerable, and even in an ordinary fly, accidentally flying into an apartment, he sees a potential enemy.
