I read this in a biography. He was afraid of ants, because as a kid, he was taking care of an injured bat. The next day, he came back to nurse the bat, but ant were crawling over its dead corpse. Needless to say, it was a disturbing motif, that he later used in his artwork to represent death and decay. For example, in the Persistence of Memory, ants crawl on some of the clocks.
