There is a wide spectrum of reactions to the fear stimuli. Some people are only disturbed while others react in a full blown panic attack at the sight of a bug.
This irrational fear may be a result of a previous fear based experience involving some form of insect.
A true insect phobia experiences a persistent fear of and irrational need to avoid insects at all costs.
This fear seems to be a phobia of "affluence" most likely surfacing in hygienically urbanized western societies where people have little first-hand experience of insects. Urban dwellers are not as prepared for insect encounters as those in rural communities generally are.
The fear itself doesn't seem all that unreasonable considering the danger and annoyance insects cause. Bites and stings to humans result in an ingrained fear of insects in most societies. Fear of insects can therefore be rationalized in all of us as a form of conditioned over-reaction.
One case study discovered how a little girl's fear of insects was the result of being told that her sister who died of pneumonia had caught "a bug."
The choice of insects as the phobic object may be random, symbolic, or perfectly logical. When symbolic the insects often represent filth and soiling. Bugs or insects have also been interpreted as symbols of sexual penetration.

Phobias are commonly treated through hypnosis reducing fear and anxiety quickly and effortlessly.
