Fear of squishing or squished insects, reptiles, and amphibians.

The thought of a lizard being run over, or a gecko being squished in a door freaks me out.. Same with insects,once a moth landed on me, and to get it off I stupidly started jumping up and down.. It fell off, and my foot landed on it and for at least 10 minutes I couldn't stop thinking about it and pacing and breathing heavily.. Ughh.. Just now there was a little gecko close to the door and I was so afraid someone would close the door and it would be squashed.
Is there a name for this fear of squishing or squished insects?
