Did you play with insects when you were a kid? Which was your favorite?

Mine were grasshoppers and rollie pollies. Though the big flying grasshoppers scared me and made me cry...lol

caterpillars I loved those I kept them in boxes with lots of leaves and spinkled water on the leaves...

@Cutiepi23 There are fuzzy caterpillars here that can cause some extremely painful rashes, they look like they have white fur.

@cherokeepatti Not any like those in the UK that I'm aware of . The ones I collected were either green or black and yellow slightly hairy

@Cutiepi23 I didn't realize that they were here till I heard it on local news and some child had gotten blistered playing with one. I had read it a couple months before. Now I look at all fuzzy caterpillars with suspicion regardless.
