How to get rid of Ladybug Phobia?

Question

When i was in pre-school I remembering playing on one of those things that spin around with like five people on it. When my friends and I were on it a red ladybug flew onto the bar next to my hand. But I've always been scared since. What should I do to get ober it? I also dislike butterflies and calipiters. And yes I know a calipliter turns into a butterfly.

I would start by holding a death one, I supposed you would not be scared of a dead insect. once you see one close by, you will notice that they are actually cute.

If you feel comfortable with it, you may ask somebody to hold a live one close to you, it should not be difficult to start feeling more comfortable with it.

I do that with my kids, once they see that the critters I am holding don't do anything, they feel more comfortable and now they aren't scared of almost anything.

Answer 2

By realizing that ladybugs are probably the least harmful insect on the planet...you could live in Australia which is filled with poisonous tarantulas or the middle east with scorpions...
