Entomology 101 - or Bugs for Thugs, as my professor called it - was the coolest elective I took in college. You could get extra credit for bringing in bugs to share with the class. I didn't have a proper container, so I spent one class trying to contain an Emperor Scorpion in a Chinese food container and keep it from escaping. Good times.

I wonder if just photos would have worked if they were good ones. If I had the money, i would 100% take one of these classes.

Honestly if you're near a university, you can probably just show up.
