Specific Animal Phobias?

My cousin actually had a fear of ladybugs. Yeah, those harmless little critters. She'd freak out and run away whenever she saw one. It was pretty hilarious, to be honest.

As for dealing with it, she tried exposure therapy. Slowly exposing herself to ladybugs in controlled situations, like looking at pictures or being in the same room as one, helped her overcome the fear.
 
Flatworms.
I saw one chase a crab while I was at the beach and it was like watching an inanimate object given life, horrible, unholy life, that is.
 
Werewolves. Not okay at all. Nightmare stuff. Someone told me they don't exist but I'm not so sure......
 
I find landfowl such as chickens, turkeys, greater sand grouse and even guinea fowl to an extent disgusting and repulsive to be near. This disgust also extends to pigeons and doves especially those with long feather tails or cuffs. I especially hate 'fancy' birds of those species especially pigeon-chicken hybrids These birds feel unnatural and hideous to me. It's the same towards some birds of paradise too. This is an irrational fear and I'm fine with eating these birds, or if they are in behind strong barriers or looking at a taxidermy example or pictures of one. I'm generally fine with other birds including certain pheasants.

Pigeon x chicken hybrids do not exist.
 
While I am not usually scared of them, since visiting Singapore Night Safari I feared stepping on a brown rat. I find rats cute and interesting as long as they are scared of humans and scurry away. But the moment they stop showing fear, I get afraid of them. I'm scared of walking in the dark, and feeling something fuzzy under your foot, just as it lets out a terrifying squeal.
 
Domestic Cats, exclusively in person and not in photos or videos, I just find them creepy to be around irl. I used to be afraid of domestic dogs, mainly due to loud noise and overly friendly behaviour but I've since grown out of it. I still jump at a really loud dog bark, and still try to avoid strangers dogs, but I'm better with it.

Cats though... I can barely be around them.
 
I used to be terrified to death by caterpillars, especially when I'm younger. Honestly, I'm starting to saw most of them to be kinda cute especially the Japanese emperor caterpillar.
 
I have a phobia for wasps
. Once I see a wasp, there’s something inside that says panic. I also got a phobia for worms. I just don’t like them. Once as a child someone put an earthworm in my shirt and that wasn’t fun at all. Since then worms I don’t like worms.
