My sister always told me that most creepy crawlies, but especially flies all might be pregnant so if a fly was in my room at night it would lay eggs in my ears and in my hair when I was asleep. I am now nearly 29 and still cannot sleep in a room that has a fly in it. Or a spider come to think of it.
