My mom thinks it's creepy, but she asks how they are doing, my kids (I have 3) are jealous of time I spend "staring" at the bugs, but they named them. My 3 year old helps me catch feeder bugs outside. Thier friends think it's cool and my husband couldn't care less if they exist. They are kinda in his way I guess. Everyone has held one except him.

My girlfriend won't hold them either. She is scared of bugs. My 5 year old daughter loves everything about them. We are trying to get my girlfriend to hold them as a Christmas present for us.
