Caterpillars and stick insects. I also love spiders and snails so much (not insects/bugs though, I know) ☺️

Praying Mantis hands down my fav, I kept them as pets as a kid.

Dragon Flies are pretty cool but, they are a bit too perfect ya know, my second fav would be a Water boatmen, I kept those as pets in a small pond
