When I was five years old I found a ladybug in the bathroom. My older sister rushed in and shouted at me not to touch it because it was 'poisonous to anyone under the age of eight!'. She was ten, so she picked it up for a closer inspection. Years later I realised she'd only told me that because SHE wanted to hold the pretty insect..
