bugs are freaky and it's healthy to be scared of them. i recommend finding someone who is not so creeped out by them and spending a lot of time with this person so they can make sure you don't have to deal with the bugs yourself.

If your phobia is really causing you inconvenience in your daily life, you should pay a few visits to a psychologist and learn how to overcome it.
Funnily enough, I used to have a phobia of spiders, but it actually improved a bit when I got bitten by a big Huntsman spider. Huntsman spiders were the ones that used to scare me the MOST of any, even though they aren't dangerous, but because they are hairy and fast-moving. So, one day I picked up a towel and lay it over my arm. Next thing....chomp. I felt something bite me, and it was a big huntsman. It freaked me out, but after that, I thought....well, that's the worst that can happen with a huntsman so I don't feel quite so scared of them now.
So, see a psychologist for some tips on how to get over it if it makes life hard for you. If it doesn't bother you enough to see a psychologist, just try to think of the good things about bugs, and keep in mind that most of them won't/can't hurt you.
Good luck.

There is a simple solution. Go backpacking in the mountains. You can't kill all the bugs, so you either get accustomed to them or you go crazy. In either case the bugs will not bother you any more.

A lot of people have a fear of insects. If I am reading correctly, you have had a few incidents that has made you afraid of them. I did too- I was chased down by a swarm of africanized honey bees-and it left me afraid of bees for a long time. Just tell yourself that it is a fear-you obviously know this-so tell yourself this, stay calm, and admire them from afar.
