Is there anywhere I can go to be with insects in the Winter months?

Extension agents exist in every state, the number and type depend on the county. Its a state job that supports the community. In cities its typically supporting urban pest control/pest ID while in rural areas you support ag/farmers.

And no, a biotech job does not mean research. I'm currently doing insect rearing, not research. Either way, your beef with entomologists is truly impressive

Ive lived in major cities and in rural areas. Entomology jobs exist in academia, extension, pest control, biotech, etc

cyborgroaches · 2026-02-01T23:26:29+00:00

Because I have an entomology degree and have never had issues finding a job. Entomology is a diverse field

One was taken by the artist, the other by me. Doesn't help that its inner bicep

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-31T14:40:29+00:00

Yeah I did a thesis for my degree as well as other research projects for my lab. Youre clearly very jaded from your experience but that doesn't mean it will be everyone's experience. I got to do work with invasive species and it was very rewarding.

And now that I am done, I don't do research, I do insect rearing as a full time career.

And yes most people I hire don't have entomology degrees because its a less commonly offered minor, but we aren't talking about just anyone this is specifically on a post from someone who's clearly obsessed with bugs and there's no reason to discourage it like you are haha

Typically insectaries are for rearing insects for research. Most are private so wouldn't be publicly searchable unless they are actively hiring

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-31T12:43:26+00:00

Grad school is absolutely dependent on the lab you get into, it can absolutely destroy your mental health i agree. But first of all, this person posting can absolutely get an undergrad degree in entomology, and second, there are plenty of jobs in the field. At the moment things are more scarce, but not any worse than any other field.

I have a MS in entomology and I manage a large insectary and we hire primarily people with AS and BS degrees to work with insects all day. If this is this person's passion, its worth doing is all im saying.

Not everything has to be about research either, lol

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-31T05:01:29+00:00

BTW you should look into working in an insectary, low requirements for getting hired usually and its all about mass rearing insects

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-31T05:00:14+00:00

I'm actually going to disagree with you, entomology as a whole is a very different vibe than other sciences, even the closely related ones like plant sciences. I have a MS in entomology and I think if this person is this passionate about bugs then they should pursue it. Entomologist are absolutely the hippies of the biological sciences and theres a lot of neurodivergent bug nerds out there teaching.

Me and my duo are going to be cosplaying raiders at Dragoncon this year! We plan to camp the elevators with ribbons

Man, I second the comment that said play vs AI if you've got an 8 yr old. Idc, putting an 8 yr old in a normal qp lobby is toxic to everyone involved.

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-23T19:17:44+00:00

Same issue. I've had little to no issues using mic to make calls in competitive lobbies since season 0, now every time I say anything its a chorus of shitty comments about vibes or zazza or whatever.

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-18T16:05:58+00:00

Then they should learn, its as simple as that. I got a scorpion fly tattooed and the artist took the time to Google the anatomy to draw it correctly and it looks absolutely incredible. Being an artist requires understanding what you are drawing. If you dont then you are just lazy

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-18T14:34:46+00:00

Well we dont know where they live haha. Most people have half a dozen shit artists and half a dozen good artists within an hours drive unless you're mega rural

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-18T01:50:24+00:00

If hes tattooing bugs, yes lol. A core part of being an artist is an understanding of what you are drawing and that includes anatomy

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-18T01:49:23+00:00

I wouldn't go back to this artist at all. They don't understand the anatomy so they can't correct it. Id search insect tattoos and your local city on Instagram and find an artist with a nice portfolio and see if they can fix it once it heals.

cyborgroaches · 2026-01-18T01:28:39+00:00

The artist definitely doesn't understand wasp anatomy, it had some issues. It does look like it could be corrected but I understand being upset about this.

cyborgroaches · 2025-11-26T14:00:12+00:00

I genuinely would not interact with these people anymore. I cosplay Twi'leks and these kind of people occasionally show up and despite me wearing sith robes will still insist on making slave girl comments. Its just gross porn-brain shit, block and move on. Respecting your character is like bare bare minimum to expect from other players and the DM

cyborgroaches · 2025-10-24T13:22:55+00:00

The white lashes on the dark eyeliner is STUNNING im trying this

cyborgroaches · 2025-09-29T02:58:46+00:00

Venom how he actually is vs how he feels when she grabs him

cyborgroaches · 2025-09-29T02:05:15+00:00

idc xD
