They used to have a small case of pinned moths and butterflies in one of the dining rooms at the Walton Arms - I couldn't go into the room! I have a total phobia about moths and go into a major panic if one is in the house - I can't bear to even look at photos or drawings of them. I'm also of the same mind but not as bad about all flying things including birds, and I can't bear bluebottles. If I sit outside in the sun I have to have a can of fly spray handy! Perhaps I have 'issues'!
