I hate them to an extreme! They're always in my room during the summer. So at night i end sleeping completely under the covers and i end up sweating myself to sleep. Well, not exactly to sleep. I swear sometimes they are out to get me. I know it's stupid and weird, but i'm serious. And those flying beetles, man don't even get me started on those either!

My cousin is TERRIFIED of moths. She panics in the extreme when one is in the same room w/her. There's actually a word for this... I just can't remember what it is.
found it: Lepidopteraphobia

There is a way to control moths without using those sickening moth balls. At a home depot buy some cedar strips and put them around the home, especially in the closets. They are very effective and healthy to use. But not healthy for the moths.
As far as beetles are concerned, you might want to play some Beetle's music, namely "I Want To Hold Your Hand." That is one of the worst Beetle songs. Maybe the beetles won't like it either and leave.

I'm actually OK with them because I'm OK with butterflies. I also found out that quite of a few butterflies are brownish and look like moths - so just imagine they are butterflies because they might be!
Also, I found a luna moth a few years ago (the really large green ones) and it was beautiful.
Now those flying beetles - totally different story because they have spikes on their legs and I keep thinking they are going to get stuck in my hair. Plus my dog likes to play with them before he eats them and then he barfs them up all night! TOTALLY GROSS.
Spiders are the worst for me, however. I'd rather kiss a snake than look at a spider.

Try a mosquito net. It will keep all flying bugs out and let you sleep without hiding under the covers. Try the source or just google "mosquito net".

I like luna moths but the little ones are kinda creepy. I totally agree with you.

Suck it up! The things that you should be afraid of are the mice under your bed and the monsters in your closet that only you can see.
