Privacy NoticeBBC Breakfast host Charlie Stayt was quick to call out a missing trigger warning on this morning’s programme (Saturday, August 24). The star was co-hosting with Rachel Burden, who introduced a segment about Scottish photographer Jimmy Reid’s work capturing magnified, close-up photos of insects. “Many of us aren’t too keen on getting up close and personal with insects, but one professional photographer has made it his life’s work,” Burden began before detailed images of bugs took up viewers’ screens. “It’s incredible isn’t it? Look at the detail!”. As they cycled through the extraordinary shots, including a sleeping bee and an Emperor moth, Stayt interjected with a light-hearted: “Do you think we should have done a warning before this?” which was met with a laugh from Burden.

Despite the jest, both presenters couldn’t help but admire the beauty in each magnified view, especially Stayt, who said: “I do think these close-ups are beautiful,” just as a stunning hoverfly appeared. Burden went on to say: “These are quite ordinary little bugs and creatures that you’d find in anyone’s back garden but they look quite extraordinary when you see them in that sort of detail don’t they?”. The fear of insects is a recognised phobia, called entomophobia. It’s unclear how many in the UK suffer from this, but it’s estimated that phobias generally affect 15 per cent of the population, reports the Manchester Evening News. Scottish photographer Reid, whose work was featured, is known for his close-ups of common garden bugs and spiders, although the latter were not displayed on the show. Reid’s official Facebook page reveals that he identifies as a “Macro photographer specialising in spiders, insects and fish with the odd surprise project thrown in.” BBC Breakfast airs every day at 6am on BBC One.
