While there is no official name for the phobia of butterflies, it has been linked to Mottephobia (Fear of Moths), or a name such as Lepidopterophobia (based on Lepidopterans - the order of insects including butterflies, moths, etc.).

What is it called when you are afraid of butterflies?

butterflies are harmless creatures so tell yourself there is no need to be scared. butterflies aren't seen around that often so try your best to ignore it and maybe the fear will go away. This is an irrational fear. The person usually knows butterflies are harmless, but s/he is powerless to do anything about it. Hypnosis is an excellent way to deal with the fear. (I used to be skeptical about hypnosis, but have been using it for sports performance and am very impressed.)
