Fear of locusts

I Have a major fear of locusts. I'm not sure why but their size and look just scare me so bad. One year I went with a friend and her family to gatlinburg TN and we went down in cades cove and one of the historic places was down in the woods, so we are walking and all of a sudden I see a humongous locust on my leg and I start to scream and jump around to get it off and it won't get off of me and more of them just keep getting on me and they won't go away and I'm freaking out. I'm running as fast as I can back to the truck and my friends brother just starts to laugh at me and I feel humiliated by locusts. Ever since then I've been afraid of them and I hate them with a passion.
