Spheksophobia

Spheksophobia is the fear of wasps. It is a specific phobia, which is discussed in detail in the Phobias section below.

Wasps

• Wasps are insects, and they're in the order Hymenoptera.

• Did you know that wasps have a narrow waist and only four wings? And did you know that their wings are divided into two pairs? That's right: Four wings plus two pairs equals six individual body parts on each of them! It's true!

Spheksophobia is the fear of wasps.

Spheksophobia is the fear of wasps. This phobia can be caused by the sting of an insect, or by seeing one that is attacking someone else. It may also develop after seeing a movie or show where wasps are featured. Other causes include having had an allergic reaction to their venom while being stung, or if you have been attacked before by a swarm in your life.

Those with this phobia will experience symptoms such as feeling anxious when they see or hear about someone getting stung; avoiding places where wasps live (like parks); and avoiding activities when they know there are many of them around (such as picnics). They will also become stressed out when trying to do things that involve going near these insects such as gardening outside at home during summer time since there will probably be some flies around looking for food too!

Conclusion

Spheksophobia is the fear of wasps. The word “spheksophobia” comes from the Greek words “sphyxis” (flying) and “phobos” (fear). Spheksophobia is also known as ichneumoniphobia, or ichneumonism.
