I used to think animals understood everything just like we did, so I was very hurt when I helped a bug out of the swimming pool and it stung me! Didn't it know I was trying to save it from drowning?

My mother believed until very recently, that slugs were snails that had come out of their shells. She used to go around the garden breaking empty shells, so they wouldn't be able to get back in.

I used to believe, after being told by a friend my age, that if you buried an ant with a chip of glass, that it would turn into a termite. We'd bury our ants one day, and come back and look for them a day later, and every time the ant and piece of glass were gone (or we couldn't remember where we'd buried them, more likely). One time we found a termite where we thought we'd buried the ant, so that of course proved it was true!

I managed to convince my younger brother when we were driving home one night, that the loose gravel being thrown up by the wheels was really a type of beetle that lived along the roadside, and was attracted to the headlights as we passed.

I thought that big spiders (Huntsman Size) could crack glass. When I was 4 I saw a car with a broken side window with what I thought was a spider masking taped in the center of the crack. I told my parents they swore they did not see it. To this day I dont know what I really saw.

I used to be scared of having any spiders in my room, and coming from a country that has a LOT of spiders, that can sometimes be difficult. I was afraid that even tiny spiders would crawl in my ear or up my nose, and bite me on the brain, killing me. I had to check there were no spiders before I went to sleep, and if I had to kill one, I always said sorry to it first.

I used to be obsessed with this book about insects called "Insect World" and would insist that my mother read parts of it to me every night. About half an hour later, I would run into my parents' room, imagining giant wasps, stagbeetles, and army ants had invaded my bed!

My eldest brother convinced me that as bees made honey, wasps made jam conserves - I still 30 years later have a sneaking suspicion that it's true

I used to have an obsession with bringing creepy crawlies, especially woodlice into the house. My mother got so annoyed one day that she told me woodlice bit really really hard. When I said I didn't believe her she replied with "How do you think that they bite through wood"

My mother apparently still believes that those little flies you find on over-ripe fruit "just form there", kind of out of thin air. Apparently the fruit produces them spontaneously. She's 60 this year. Well. On the other hand, until recently my sister (now 34) believed that the muck you get on your windscreens is caused by flies and bugs relieving themselves (yes, sh***ing on them). She used to take it quite personally, too.
