[QUOTE="minomantis, post: 282760, member: 6680"] I usually say a couple of reasons. 1.) I love nature and they naturally interest me. 2.) I love the predatory/prey chains so since they are one of the main predators in the insect world, I had to learn more. 3.) Their camouflage abilities are very interesting. 4.) I try to stay away from the "They're cool" (even though they totally are!) response because many people know it's an insect and are just put off. :/ If you explain if right, you can even intrigue the people you are talking to. Some of my family friends have questioned me and realized it would be cool to raise some with their own kids. You never know. [/QUOTE]
