Entomology student here. When I saw the thumbnail on youtube I made a really loud squeel for joy. Dr. Lois O'Brien is the world renown expert of Fulgoroidea (planthoppers) and I have her book and everything (I really want to be a taxonomist in hoppers like she is). I hear the coolest stories about them from other profs at my university in Texas. I'd love to meet them both one day. Thanks Great Big Story for giving us all a small glimpse into the lives of some super cool entomologists!
How sweet! Reminds me of our neighbors, a ( much younger) couple who are both entomologists who work at the UofA. ( I'm betting that they know this couple in Green Valley) We love them, the perfect neighbors ❤️
I was going to major and work in entomology when I was younger since I love living bugs like ants. I even hung out with a few local entomologists like Robert H. Crandoll (RIP since he passed away in 2006). He had a cool insect collection (dead and alive) in his house. However, computer science took over since I love computers especially their digital bugs. I don't like the chemical odor/smell, traveling, low pay, etc. :( However, I am still fascinated with nature today as an old fart.
If you think about it, their passion for insects will teach a couple of hundreds if not thousands of people from the new generation. Their passion transcended their time. I would say they had a succesfull and fullfilling live.
I’m a beginner insect collector. I have around eleven butterflies, seven of which I’ve caught, killed, spread, and pinned myself. I have around four moths, a water beetle, five bees, a wasp, a tachinid fly (adejeania vexatrix), a larder beetle, a confused flour beetle, a granulated caradid, and a couple others, though they’re slipping my mind. All of my insects I pinned myself. I have never met someone my age who loves entomology as much as I do. My greatest hope is to find someone with the same enthusiasm who I can talk to. These guys are living the dream. The closest I have to a friend who loves entomology as much as I do is my grandpa, and he’s more of a bird person. Though he did introduce me to an entomology professor in my city, who I email frequently.
However, I don’t want to go into entomology. I want to become a comic artist and do film. Trust me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE entomology, and will continue to learn obscure facts about physiology, taxonomy, and other things.
ive collected insects my whole life but cant afford to travel the world like these fine young folk can. but i would love to start a TH-cam channel hunting down the worlds largest insects. there are so many the have never been filmed alive before and i think there's at least one other person that would like to watch it LOL

There is nothing cuter then when an old man talks about the past and you see his woman holding back a huge smile and looking off reminiscing
How sweet! Reminds me of our neighbors, a ( much younger) couple who are both entomologists who work at the UofA. ( I'm betting that they know this couple in Green Valley) We love them, the perfect neighbors ❤️

Why not computational biology ?

That is one huge and beautiful collection. I wanted to be a Lepidopterist when I was younger. That is the study of butterflies and moths...
Where on earth did he find a woman who likes bugs?! They're the most rare form of humans.
