When I was little, my mom told me that moths would eat my clothes. She neglected to specify, "when they're in the closet." So I thought that moths had these huge teeth and would land on me and eat right through my clothes and bite me. Then someone told me that butterflies are just pretty moths... To this day, I am terrified of both moths and butterflies.
when i was little someone told me that flies pooped every time they landed. of course that happened to be the summer that there were TONS of flies. if a fly even touched me, i went to go wash my hand. i was so freaked out by that. i think i was a gullible little kid
I used to be afraid that I would get burnt by the light on lightning bugs when you go to catch them because to me they looked like flying Christmas tree lights off the string that I had been burnt with that past Christmas.
i'm scared of spiders because my mum said they eat you (yeah phat chance)
I used to believe a had an imaginary friend called Sprouty, it was a spider. Sprouty had a friend as well, a huge giant! These were my best friends and we went everywhere together. How we managed to get a giant in the bus I don't know!

i used to think that black widow spiders wher spiders whos husbands died so they were widows and they allways wore black cos they were sad.
I used to believe that ladybugs and fireflies ate salami, so everytime I caught one I would put it in a jar with a slice of pepperoni. The bugs weren't too happy, neither was my mom who found the jar later on under my bed. Bug abuser!!!
I used to think that black widow spiders lived under my covers, but ONLY at night when i was under them, and I would be scared they were going to crawl up my legs at night when i wasnt looking.

As a child I always used to think that an earwig could crawl into your head through your ear and eat your brain
You know how in cartoons when someone is about to eat, they rub their hands together? Well, once when I was 3 I watched a fly up close and he did the same thing! I screamed and ran away because I thought it was going to eat me!

I have a mate who still, at nearly 18 believes if a moth flies close to your eyes it will blind you with the powder. I have great fun throwing dead moths at him...:) (by the way, I'm just assuming thi isn't true as it's so stupid, if it is true, i apologise!!)
