Mottephobia

Friends whom know me long enough should know i totally dislike and is extremely scared of butterflies and moths. Btw, its not because of the chinese drama-mi2 li2 ye4 shown long time ago ok!

Just googled and found that phobia of moths is called "Mottephobia". However, im not just scared of moths but butterflies as well. The colourful, "pretty" little things that most people like. Oh please... i can scream and run a thousand mile when i see the thingy flying towards me.
Anyway, there is no official name for the phobia of butterflies.

Found a list of phobias that some people have and some of it are really weird.

Emetophobia — fear of vomiting.
Ergasiophobia, Ergophobia — fear of work or functioning, or a surgeon's fear of operating.
Gephyrophobia — fear of bridges
Gynophobia — fear of women. (my gosh...)
Heliophobia — fear of sunlight.
Paraskavedekatriaphobia, Paraskevidekatriaphobia, Friggatriskaidekaphobia — fear of Friday the 13th.
Panphobia — fear of everything or constantly afraid without knowing what is causing it
Tetraphobia — fear of the number 4. (Great... tomorrow is the 4th Sept, i'll tell my boss im Tetraphobia so im not going to work.
