Salvador Dalí was 1.72 m (5ft 7-3/4 in), according to his prison record when he was 20 years old. However his hairdresser/biographer Luis Llongueras says Dalí was 1.74 m (5ft 8-1/2in) tall.
Actually Dali's fear of insects was an important face. He added ants to his most important and most talked about work, "The Persistence of Memory". Other important works included grasshoppers, flies and other insects. These icons helped to shape Dali's persona. You can see more examples of these works online, try salvadordaliexperts.com as an example. Look for the "Persistence of Memory" and notice the ants in the image.
