Insect Phobias

Hymenoptera is the classification for all wasp. I would suggest, hymenopteraphobia
spheksophobia
Literally: Fear of wasps. Figuratively: Fear of WASPs
(For the uninitiated, WASPs are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants -- i.e., non-Catholic non-Jewish white people. The implication is that WASPs are snobby rich folk.)
This word is unacceptable. DOes not really define the phobia

Couldn't find one specifically indicating wasps. As they are insects found this as the nearest match:
Insectophobia - Fear of insects.
Whilst looking I found this:
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.
Who made that up? Where they taking the Schmichael?
(Sorry thought I'd add that as it was rather amusing?)
