How do you calm the fears of a child who is terrified of insects?

My daughter has screamed bloody murder several times the past few days when driving in the car with me and she noticed a bug in the backseat with her. It almost caused an accident!

I’ve done everything from being upset to calmly telling her that mom and dad have survived 40 years of insect abuse.

Do you have any whimsical ways of calming a child when they are terrified of insects?
