Net on phobia of my friend

From Quest on page 176 (Hartmann, 2007), after I read the article and the question, the first idea occuring in my mind is my friend's phobia. He's frightened by insect specially for flying insect because he said "you have no idea what exactly do they want or go" it means sometime they flying toward to you, sometime zigzag so you can't predict the way that they desire. Once, about 3 years ago, we traveled in the east of Thailand together, the place located in the forest with a lot of insect. In evening, the sky covered with dark blue color so we surrounded by several kinds of insect. His face went pale with fear. His body wrapped by shirt and sweater, scarf around his neck and ears, hat on his head, legs with long pant so one thing we could see on his body were his eyes. His cloths looked like a Newyorker. He was always avoiding to insect but finally one bug flied to him and standed on his shoulder. Suddenly, he was in panic mode so he jumped out from the bamboo table, and jumped around and tried to push it out. He yell out, some kind of slang words litter on the air. We just laughed at him because we thought it just a small one and It's not harmful; however, we totally understand him so when this situation happen again we try to help him. He can't open the door if there is a small insect stand on the doorknob so he have to use a stick or something long to push it out. In my opinion, If it don't fly to him, he would live happily.
