This photo of a woodpecker makes some people feel scared and disgusted
There are those who consider this photo of a woodpecker normal, and there are some netizens who are horrified when they see it. What this woodpecker shows is that it is inserting an acorn into the hole it has made.
But the cause of the horror was not the action of the bird. But because of the holes in which this woodpecker stores the seeds.
Due to Trypophobia

Holes with large and irregular numbers trigger a condition known as trypophobia. For someone with a phobia, even a photo that we think is beautiful will make him feel afraid and disgusted.
It should be noted that the term typophobia was born from an online forum in 2005. In addition, scientists also say that this condition has existed for a long time.
“We were aware of this condition before it was on the internet. Although now the internet may have made it worse.” Said Arnold Wilkins, a psychologist at the University of Essex as quoted from Live Science.
However, trypophobia is not classified as a mental disorder. But 10% of people who experience this will feel anxiety, fear, nausea, horror, and like something is crawling on their skin.
