>>6593840I hear Japan is pretty good for the bug hobby (I'm an amerifat and we have restrictions on beetles, mantids, millipedes, snails...). Old World tarantulas will probably be a lot cheaper and easier to get there, but they're not real beginner friendly. They're very fast and pack a nasty bite. Most New World species can fling itchy butt hairs at you, but they're slower and generally less bitey/significantly less venomous.
>>6593859You've got a fair point. This guy has a good idea

Setting up scenes for photoshoots seems like the easiest way to "use" the toys you buy and hoard. Some of the pics on here make me really wish I had a real camera. The most "use" I personally get out of my toys is when I sew clothes for them.
