I'm 30, and I try to get others interested in bugs, at least a little bit...I find mantids very facinating, and I think it's sad how becoming an adult and "growing up" = removing your brain, and becoming a lifeless cog in a cubicle. when nature = your lawn, and bugs are merely little things you have to spray with chemicals because they kill your lawn. :roll:
I get criticized when I buy my little neices and nephews "bug jugs" or teach them how to catch )and release) lightening bugs.
whatever. This world is large enough that we can have our little quirks.
I'm glad I found this place, and even though I'm mantid-less right now, I will probably continue to have them in the future.
