Why are some humans afraid of bugs if they never had a traumatized experience with them and are not dangerous??

Is there a reason behind it?? Seems weird to be scared of something that isn’t dangerous and never had a traumatized experience with them.

Every fear (except from heights and loud noises) is learned behaviour.

There is no innate fear of insects/bugs.

Unfortunately, lots of kids see their mother’s hysterical screams and pick up the irrational fear.
