Hajj & Umrah Reviews and Community

my first question is: I can’t kill anything while I’m in Ihram, right?
Well, I wouldn’t want to but I’m still guilty of the accidental squash of a spider or something.
So my parents are thinking of us going round and visting some family and most importantly(Doing Ummrah).
Lol, my three year old brother is so psyched!
Anyway, I picked up a leaflet in an Islamic book shop on my way back from a friends house and it reminded me(Because I really had forgotten) that I’m not allowed to harm plants or anything.
I was watching something by Sheikh Salih Al Munajid(Who happens to the boss of my cousin in Saudi…)
and it said even I’ve binded Ihram I can still kill a mouse(Not that I would, I’d just start screaming and get on a chair or climb on the perrson next to me like I do here..).
So what do I have to look out for?
Seriously, I won’t lose my Ihram if I squish an ant or something?
The last time I went to Mecca was when I was seven and I hadn’t binded Ihram then but recall being pushed around a lot. My uncle told me off there because I kept stopping to apologise to everyone. ( x____x )

So can anyone clear things up for me, please?
