Is it normal that i am feared of caterpillars

I don't know why I was scared of caterpillars from my childhood. Still the fear in me was same. My friends and family members just make fun of me saying that I behave abnormal when I see caterpillars.

I really hate them and scared of the huge ones with horns and hair on them.
Gosh the feeling when I just think of them gives me goosebumps. I don't know why the are disgusting and weird. My friends just touch them handle them with their bare hand's. The way they crawl and the way they look like,God it just make me feel sick.

There are many cases where I came in contact with these creepy creatures. When I go through my streets by bike. there is a tree where there are herd of caterpillars with hair on them. I try to move my bike fastly so that no caterpillar could fall on me. But it's my bad luck.every time when i go through that way I found a caterpillar falling on my chest or shoulders or back. Gosh that scares me a lot and I stop my bike and start screaming on the streets. The people going through the streets came to help me in removing the caterpillars.
I left going through the way where the tree is located.i don't know why the fear in me is such like bull shitt. Even I am allergic to caterpillars.

    I'm not afraid of them but I must say I still wouldn't care for them just falling on me all the time as I'm on my way. That sounds rough.

    From what I've researched the phobia you have is lepidopterophobia.

    It is normal for people to have a variety of fears.

    Have you seen what the possible things these caterpillars may become, and how they do it? Yes, butterflies are beautiful... Many moths are not!

    Don't worry about it too much. It's OK to have such fears - as long as its not too many things in life.

    You can avoid caterpillars for most days in your life...
