I'm in love with entomology but making it my career would require major life changes. I don't know what to do ): UPDATE: I did it, I’m making those changes !!
I absoutely agree with you Peter! Once I started noticing insects and giant divers world opened up. The are insects around us everywere we go. I noticed they change dramatically with in just a few miles or even blocks. Micro enviroments where certain insects live and thrive. I have made many hikes and adventures 10 tmes more interesting simply by watching for different insects. With a sheet, some black lights and a warm night, the world opens up to facsinating shapes, colors, patters, textures, behaviors that most never see.
Peter, thank you, for explaining the blinders being removed and opening you to another world filled with insects. All my life I saw and watched all these bugs, while my friends saw nothing; even as I pointed to a butterfly flying about them.
Do your bachelor's in zoology and then masters in it and Entomology as your major.. Roam around forests, outgrowths... observe nature...that is the best way to learn... It is how I learned the most Good luck!
I'm 14 and i also wanna be an entomologist. I know how to pin and catch insects,i don't label as much stuff as i should,i know pretty much all orders and i know how to differentiate some suborders and families,but actually not much.
I so wish I had gotten into entomology in my younger years. When I was a boy I would search the back hill for old empty beer cans and find many insects caught up in them, hence my collection grew. Noticing insects opens up a world few take the time to see. It is facinating. I live in Berkeley and need to make it up the hill and have a look. I have a collection here as well.
I'm an insect nerd(especially into beetles) in Turkey and i really want to be an entomologist. I know the importance of insects in our environment and love everything about them. I love finding, collecting and identifying insects all summer long. Unfortunately, entomology basically doesn't exist here in Turkey and its just an extension of pest control jobs, while being very hard and expensive to get into. People look at me weird when i tell them i'm interested in insects. My family wants me to keep it as a hobby while i actually want to do it professionally. Sorry, i just came here to vent. I wish i was born in a different environment, where i could pursue my dreams, where my choices mattered. People, don't let bad situations stop you from pursuing your dreams. Don't be like me, unable to do anything, trapped in your room for hours to study. Make very good use of the opportunities given to you, and before life can trap you in its jaws like an antlion, run out of the hole and be free.
Insects have always fascinated me. God's creations are truly amazing! I like to draw and paint them. I've started finding specimens that are ethically sourced, meaning they live out their natural lives and are not killed for the art. I prefer that.
Just google ethical taxidermy insects. The seller I bought mine The seller I buy from gets her specimens from an insect farm after the insects had lived out their lives and passed on naturally. Her shop is called Bugsnstitches on Etsy
I volunteered in a few entomology collections and the one collection that was too difficult for me to do and was amazing was a drawer of blown/inflated caterpillars.
I want to be an Entomologist, the only thing that's still not quite easy for me is trying to get rid of the scare factor, like, if I know a bug is there, I'm not scared, but if I don't know, I get scared. Any ideas how to help with that?
how do you get into entomology education wise,, here in the uk there arent any university courses that study entomology, only zoology and obviously that isn't specifically based on insects :(
I want to study entomology because I love tarantulas and all kinds of arachnids. I have a tarantula and my ultimate goal would to have my own exotic pet store, specifically that sells Tarantulas, scorpions, Roaches, and even some reptiles.
How much is the salary per year for the profession of Agricultural Entomologist in USA ? I am an Agricultural Entomology master student from Indonesia who will graduate in 2021, my GPA now is 3.75 of 4.00 scale. Hope u all give me some informations. God bless u ❤.
@@orangutank626 Maybe in the US or other countries where cost of university is high. In India, education is a lot cheaper. If you can get into a reputable government institution like the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) or any of the state run agricultural universities, you can get quality education for an affordable price. Job opportunities in the agricultural sector are pretty good for entomologists. Forensic entomology is also a growing area here.
Sebastian Cherian but why is everyone trying to get to the united states then? Theres a reason why the Indian education is so cheap bro, as fun as entomology is, it is simply a rich mans career, sure you can get a degree at india but who the fuck would study entomology in india when almost everyone studies STEM majors it would be a waste of money... and also not everyone can get a degree at india me living in the united states cannot just go to india and pay for education i need to learn the language, culture, find affordable housing, look for a job to be able to pay for school, and all around a fuck ton of things to do it is not worth it
Sebastian Cherian and not only that bro those government issued jobs anywhere in any country are super competitive, believe me Im mexican american and I also looked into government jobs and mexico and America and they are all freaking limited and only looking for the best of the best. So for you to work in india as an entomologist you must have scored really good in your JEE or have gotten all perfect scores throughout your 4 years at the Indian Institute of Science or whatever
I'm in love with entomology but making it my career would require major life changes. I don't know what to do ): UPDATE: I did it, I’m making those changes !!
Then do what you love, and if it's entomology, so be it.
Congratulations!
How do you do become an entomologist for a career?
Omg u go girl . Wish u the best of luck💞

An entomologist has been my dream job for about a decade!

I like people who really pursue what they love even if it pays less or not much well known to most people.
Entomology is life! ❤🐜🐝🐞🦋

I'm an entomologist at heart. Insects are just amazing the rush I experience when encountering new species or old familiar friends.

i want to be an entomologist !! i'm 16 and i'm really hoping to expand my knowledge before i get to college

It is how I learned the most

I have done with my bachelor's degree in entomology now Master and then PhD
Hope you go far, kid. Ive had to put aside my enthomologist dream for a better paying job, but I'll go head-in when i finish this college!
@@-breakdancepopcorn-498 hehe im actually 20 now going on 21 ! sadly it didnt work out :( but i still love insects so much !

Could you please explain how? I also have ethical concerns

Entomology is a heaven
I love bugs
True
Great video and very informative.
I'm not into bugs, but I can see why someone would be. They're the most diverse animal group.
Thank you for a nice video story! Best greetings from entomologists in Ukraine! Thank you.
It really doesn't matter, but it does matter. Spoken by a true entomologist 😂
I volunteered in a few entomology collections and the one collection that was too difficult for me to do and was amazing was a drawer of blown/inflated caterpillars.
Nice bugs tour. Thank you for interesting video! Best greetings from entomologist in Ukraine!
You are the best!
Very interesting presentation, thank you! :) Best entomological greetings from Ukraine! :)
I love insects, their physiology is interesting too.
0:57 those insects are HUGE!
I loved it
"It really doesn't matter, but it does matter." 😂
Awesome💞
Nice ,i m entomology student from india
4:07 thats what im talking about the passion and love for science
Is there a way to preserve the gold color of a tortoise beetle?
currently minoring in entomology, hoping to major in it for a masters!
Where can I get the small white cardboard boxes that go inside the drawers? Greetings
Entomology rocks!

Can someone help with sites I can use to add to my collection?
"Oh my"! :-D
Can you please tell me what chemical should I use for book lice?
Im really interested on being a entomologist someday im 13 only but i would like to expand my mind about insects

Oh my, 😱😱😱😱😰😰😰😰😰
how do you get into entomology education wise,, here in the uk there arent any university courses that study entomology, only zoology and obviously that isn't specifically based on insects :(
You do zoology first and then masters to entomology
This'll be my job someday.
Dream job is to be a taxonomic entomologist or to work in a insectarium and teach the public about insects and other bugs :>
Is that a Hercules beetle at 2:06 ?
I think it is or it could be a neptune beetle. The huge one on the far right is a Chalcosoma Caucasus.
Yes that is

SIR, I WANT TO KNOW THE SCOPE OF ENTOMOLOGY. 🤔
Good scope of entomology ,I m entomology student , yu r indian?
@rajesh vengat none really is a rich persons career ( meaning if you have alot money, you go to school for fun and not to find a job)

Hai, i'm from the Philippines, Can i donate my 2 beetles, the Chalcosoma atlas major horn and Dorcus titnus palawanicus
“It doesn’t really matter but it does matter”
I don’t get it :/
It doesnt matter in the fact that both work just fine, it's just more socially accepted by entomologists to pin to the right
Its hell not (edit) heven
(Edit) my brother written this
He is fucking added of bugs
What's wrong with his neck
Insects bug evolutionism.
It's graveyard of creatures. Do you realize that? I like insect. Why kill them?
