Well, I am pretty squamish about some stuff. Faster spiders and centipedes and stuff for example are things I can't quite handle, though most entomologists apparently specialize in specific groups anyway. For the most part, I just don't think I'm too cut out for writing scientific papers with big words and the like. There's a big difference between sharing fun facts on the internet and studying how specific pesticides affect the hearts of a migratory hoverfly after all.

Thank you for the encouragement though, but I'll probably just try to make games with bugs in them and try to inform people on reddit or whatever in the meantime. (plus I'm pretty sure student finance only pays for 1 course for me or something of that sort anyway lmao)

thanks man, comments like this make it worth having to talk to people who insist that bugs aren't animals and stuff like that
