Insects cause fear and disgust in many people, however, for some people they are an excellent pet.

Let's consider who you can have at home if you really want to.

Stick insects

These amazing insects, which can grow up to 15 centimeters, are to the liking of many.

Moreover, they look harmless and are unpretentious in care: it is enough to give them green leaves of fruit trees.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches

These insects are called hissing insects because of their funny feature. When you touch the back of such an insect, it bends and hisses.

They are also unpretentious in food and happily gobble up vegetables, fruits and greens.

Tarantula

And this insect is not for the faint of heart. Firstly, the terrifying appearance of the hairy spider can make an arachnophobe faint, and secondly, the tarantula is poisonous, so you should handle it with extreme caution.

In the case of nutrition, things are not so simple either: the spider will have to be fed other insects, and live ones at that.

Ants

Having an ant farm at home means constantly witnessing the tireless work of these little ones.

However, keep in mind that keeping ants is not without its challenges. The farm must always be kept clean, and the insects should be fed as varied as possible, including vegetables, fruits, grains, natural juices, and syrups.
