I think the reason why I love insects is because they're so diverse and interesting. Like, they go from pretty (Butterflies and moths), to gross (Flies, maggots, most larvae, cockroaches), to holy shit scary (Wetas, Rhinocerous Beetles, wasps), to small (Gnats, Fairy Flies), to aquatic (Whirligig Beetles, Pond Skaters, Waterbugs), and then to cute (Ladybugs, Orchid Manti). It's freaking amazing.
Anyway, I used to have bad Waterbug problems in my home. Most of the time, I'd confuse them with giant cockroaches and just freak out. Ugh, thank goodness I don't get them anymore.
