Lepidopterophobia is the fear of butterflies or moths

The theme is Phobia. Lepidopterophobia is the fear of butterflies or moths. While some people may have a mild fear of these insects, a phobia is when you have an excessive and irrational fear that interferes with your daily life.

Lepidoterophobia is pronounced lep-ah-dop-ter-a-pho-bee-ah.

 

Australian Guava Moth (Coscinoptycha improbana)>

This tiny moth (about 5mm long) appeared on the cover over a plant pot I have with seeds growing. I make the tent-like covers to keep the snails and slugs off the tiny plants until they grow large enough to be planted out.

 

Fortunately I don't have any fear of these lovely insects. Isn't it beautiful?
