Anyone else have an intrest in Entomology and all things bug related?

I teach toddlers and we have 4 bug cages currently set up with 3 more that can be set up. Im so lucky to have a job that allows me to include my hobbies. our current cages include a giant shield mantis named Princess Green Bean, a budwing mantis named Little Bit, a dubia colony thats just called the Dubias, and a centipede named Cirlce that we found in our classroom. the other 3 cages are nonnative ones ive purchased. the kids absolutley love handling and caring for our pets. Does anyone else keep bugs?

All hail Princess Green Bean! I love that, that's so cute! That sounds like so much fun 😭
But I love bugs!! I'm the resident bug identifier amongst my friends, so they'll send me pictures of the crazy things they find, it's a blast : ))

I am obsessed with bugs! especially non-bug bugs like scorpions. I am pretty good and bug ID and REALLY good at bug taxonomy! i have a scorpion, two tarantulas, a crayfish, and an unimaginable amount of isopods. my job involves bugs, so i am always surrounded by them!! (if anyone needs bug ID, you can count on me to identify at least to superfamily or suborder)
