Can your biggest fear become your greatest passion? 🦗🐜 As a kid, @InsectDoc was terrified of insects. But a high school internship in an entomology lab changed everything. Now, as an entomologist, she studies these fascinating creatures every day. Her biggest lesson? Your dream career might come from the most unexpected place. This project is funded by Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

Anyone else have a Brown marmorated stink bug move in for the winter and although you know it’s an invasive species you give it a name and leave it be? Oh, it’s just me. Okay then. Meet Fred.
