I fit the category too. In fact, I was just thinking earlier tonight about how I enjoy watching the lifestyles of insects.
I raise Darkling Beetles. The farm, as I call it, is set up in the laundry room.
There I care for the complete life cycle circle of the insect.
Eggs to giant mealworms to pupae to beetles which lay the eggs and around again.
I keep an acrylic insect holder with seven adult beetles on a shelf beside where I eat.
I can watch them and observe every nuance of their daily life. It is really interesting to see how they have a community and interact with each other and with me as well.
They see me eating and come to the side of their container to look at me- Feed Me!
And I do give them little bits of what I eat as well as their daily foods.
Oh, yes, I was thinking who else might like insects and learning their ways.
I also raise Monarchs. Another lifecycle.
I've always been a science nerd.
The Uni I went to had Star Parties. This was an astronomy club that set up telescopes all over a golf course and the public was invited. Students could interact and explain things about what each scope was set on.
Don't know of anything like that where I live now.
