“Trypophobia is a proposed phobia (intense, irrational fear, or anxiety) of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps.[3][4] The condition is not officially recognized as a mental disorder,[1] and is rarely referenced in scientific literature.[5][6]

Although few studies have been done on trypophobia, researchers hypothesize that it is the result of a biological revulsion that associates trypophobic shapes with danger or disease, and may therefore have an evolutionary basis.[1]

The term trypophobia is believed to have been coined by a participant in an online forum in 2005.[5] Since then, the concept of trypophobia has become popular on social media.[5]Wikipedia

About the insect –

Description:
Aquatic bug with eggs. As GOODY pointed out, this is a “true bug” in the order hemiptera, NOT a beetle (order coleoptera).
Habitat:

Found in the riffle of a shallow, fast moving section of Delaware Creek, just below the low-water dam.

In the sub-family Belostomatinae, they have large egg size, which lead to the necessity to oviposit them on land to prevent drowning, so the male is responsible for maintaining the eggs hydrated, by carrying water repeatedly in order to prevent desiccation. In the sub-family Lethocerinae, the males carry the eggs in their back in order to prevent the drowning of the eggs being necessary some active male-tending behaviour, as brood pumping or emerging, being exposed to predators
