First I fell in love with the birds and butterflies, and then came the beneficial bugs. In college, I dated a guy who was getting his PhD in bugs (Entomology). I wasn’t thrilled when he would take me to the forest for bug collecting, but now I can appreciate his love of bugs a bit more. I’ve kind of gotten hooked on them, too.
