Around the age of about 7 i was told by one of my friends that spiders live inside cherries and from then till present day i have not been able to eat cherries!

I used to believe that a 'Flea Circus' really was a circus with performing feas!

i used to believe that catapillars were like toupees, people used them for their moustaches, eyebrows and the fur around the catapillar for eye lashes. well i noticed them one day on me face and i ran around screamning "GET THE CATAPEE-ERS OFF MY FACE, IT'S BURNING IT'S BURNING IT'S BURNING REAL BAD!!!!!!!!!"

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 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!

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"

Fairy

I used to believe that dung beetles were made out of poo!
