Bugs in Cyberspace

Description

(Above- Yes, I started young, and I'm still holding that net! My parents, sister and I- uhhh, remember the 70's?)

Since I was just a few years old and observed that bug-balls (pill bugs/isopoda) "only bounce ONE time", I have been interested in bugs. I had a very large collection of dead insects by the time I had completed elementary school. I also enjoyed watching and caring for live, captive bugs. I remember feeding 11 bumblebees to a flower spider, once. In fact, many of my childhood memories have some connection to my lifelong hobby. Yes, I even dream about bugs...more regularly than I'd like to admit!

I caught Phasmid-fever in about 1994, although I've had Diapheromera species- Common American Walkingsticks, in my dried collection since childhood. This was my reintroduction to the hobby, after taking a few years off as a late teenager to pursue sports, dating, and other MUCH less interesting hobbies;-) There weren't any good books back then, or nearby exhibits to really understand the scope and diversity of this one group of insects, but over the years I was still able to obtain 4 species of stick-insects from local pet shops.
