Fan Casting Myrmecophobia (Fear of Ants) in Sorting Characters by Fears

Myrmecophobia is the inexplicable fear or hatred for ants. It is a type of specific phobia. It is common for those who suffer from myrmecophobia to also have a wider fear of insects in general, as well as spiders (see Arachnophobia). Such a condition is known as entomophobia. This fear can manifest itself in several ways, such as a fear of ants contaminating a person's food supply, or fear of a home invasion by large numbers of ants.
