1# freak about the entomologist character -> YOU KNOW THINGS ABOUT ENTOMOLOGIST. ING

YES I DO!!!! >:]c!!!

entomology is a huuuuge interest of mine and actually what im going to uni for!!! so ive worked in two different entomology labs (both being more focused on agricultural entomology) and ive met a handful of people who work in that field :D

it influences a little bit of how i see queenie HAHA so far anyone ive met who works in entomology is very strange in different ways, and i dont see her as having been an entomologist prior to entering the circus (maybe in the past at most? but some way or another she ended up working at c&a...) BUT i like to incorporate that into how i see her!!! its very fun :D

im not an entomologist myself by any means but i have a little bit of experience with that field should that insight be needed for queenie purposes!!!!

#ask #just last night i was talking to friends about the sheer horror that is sweepnetting miles of soybean fields for stink bugs #while horseflies are pestering u and also the soybeans r up to ur chest LOL #and briefly mentioned on my main that i had to use a microscope to count literal thousands of spider mites while i had a full on migraine #im going back to that lab soon :) i was very sad to leave it last fall when i left to live oncampus #the second lab had less going on all the time but thats also cus i was helping out grad students w the like repetitive stuff #so they could go work on the actually indepth parts #so it was mostly me looking at hundreds of flies to figure out if they were one of two extremely closely related species #only really differentiated by a slight size difference and that one had bigger femurs #or sifting thru stuff to collect beetles for hours and hours. or cleaning stuff #all this is a long winded way of saying YES i do!!!!#a lot of entomology is counting HAHA i had to count things a lot #my best friend clicker counters....#my supervisor once told me the way to identify a good clicker counter is if you could physically harm someone if u hit them with it #caps
