I wanted to be an entomologist. I always liked insects and arachnids. I’ve never had any fear of them and my mother supported that by purchasing me bug books and magnifying glasses.

I never did become an entomologist but I still have a passion for bugs. I have 2 mantids and a really gorgeous green lynx spider I’ve been watching grow in my garden. I also had an orbweaver build a web, nest, and reproduce on my luffa plant. Some of her babies are still on the luffa. I still love bugs so much!
