Must Love Bugs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Entomologists Charlie and Lois O’Brien have the largest private collection of insects in the world. In their 55 years of marriage, these real life “love bugs” have traveled the world gathering specimens for their unique collection. Now in their 80s, the couple plans to donate the 1.25 million bugs carefully catalogued in their Arizona home to a research university. Even without their insects, the love they built on little legs, wings and stingers will live on.

Entomology student here. When I saw the thumbnail on youtube I made a really loud squeel for joy. Dr. Lois O'Brien is the world renown expert of Fulgoroidea (planthoppers) and I have her book and everything (I really want to be a taxonomist in hoppers like she is). I hear the coolest stories about them from other profs at my university in Texas. I'd love to meet them both one day. Thanks Great Big Story for giving us all a small glimpse into the lives of some super cool entomologists!
Tiffany Le Now you got me damn interested in bugs.

Relationship goals
was looking for this comment lol
I hope the university takes good care of the donation it looks so well taken care of, bless these two.
There is nothing cuter then when an old man talks about the past and you see his woman holding back a huge smile and looking off reminiscing
How sweet! Reminds me of our neighbors, a ( much younger) couple who are both entomologists who work at the UofA. ( I'm betting that they know this couple in Green Valley) We love them, the perfect neighbors ❤️
"With piercing sucking mouth parts"🙃😂
So precious ❤️️
Why would two people want to dislike this?!
They are adorable! I think that's one secret of a happy marriage is having shared interests.
A bugs life
If you think about it, their passion for insects will teach a couple of hundreds if not thousands of people from the new generation. Their passion transcended their time. I would say they had a succesfull and fullfilling live.
my heart hurts that is how adorable they are, ouchhhh
They are so sweet and cool they look like the couple from UP
Their collection is so well-organized!
I didn't know anyone could be such dedicated Animal Crossing fans.
I relly love this channel so dont stop making these videos.
o my goood !!! my heaaart!!! these two are PERFEEECT CUTIIIIEEEES
most under rated video
I was going to major and work in entomology when I was younger since I love living bugs like ants. I even hung out with a few local entomologists like Robert H. Crandoll (RIP since he passed away in 2006). He had a cool insect collection (dead and alive) in his house.
However, computer science took over since I love computers especially their digital bugs. I don't like the chemical odor/smell, traveling, low pay, etc. :( However, I am still fascinated with nature today as an old fart.
Why not computational biology ?
Thanks for donating your collection to a public university, Lois and Charlie! :D
Love this channel so much! 😊
cutest and most adorable couple I've ever seen. ♥♥♥♥♥ their life is really greatest just like their collection of bugs. "loves of bugs life"

I'm trying to think of a bug pun to get likes. But I can't.
It all ways bugs me when I can't think of puns
Iridescence I ant think of a good bug pun; but as they say, be the best you can bee.
You're trying to think of a bug pun, But you cAN'T
don't let it bug you
this was freaken adorable
I’m a beginner insect collector. I have around eleven butterflies, seven of which I’ve caught, killed, spread, and pinned myself. I have around four moths, a water beetle, five bees, a wasp, a tachinid fly (adejeania vexatrix), a larder beetle, a confused flour beetle, a granulated caradid, and a couple others, though they’re slipping my mind. All of my insects I pinned myself. I have never met someone my age who loves entomology as much as I do. My greatest hope is to find someone with the same enthusiasm who I can talk to. These guys are living the dream. The closest I have to a friend who loves entomology as much as I do is my grandpa, and he’s more of a bird person. Though he did introduce me to an entomology professor in my city, who I email frequently.
However, I don’t want to go into entomology. I want to become a comic artist and do film. Trust me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE entomology, and will continue to learn obscure facts about physiology, taxonomy, and other things.
I want to pursue my passion for ever , they are people to look up toooo!!
that is adorable
