the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.

We had a bunch of silk moths (the puppies of the insect world &#8211; they can\u2019t even fly anymore, they just sit on your hand and flutter and fluff and look adorable), some hissing cockroaches that were so well socialized they didn\u2019t hiss anymore, the amblypygi (an arachnid you may remember as HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT TERRIFYING CREATURE that Mad Eye Moody demonstrated the unforgiveable curses on in the Harry Potter movie series &#8211; side note, one of them climbed off its perch and onto my shoulder once and was whacking me in the face with its antannae. HOLY NOPE.), orchid manti, leafcutter ants, black widow and brown recluse spiders (NOT FOR TOUCHING, heh), and an entire bookshelf filled with tarantula aquariums. Also, new guinea stick insects and those super cute leaf-mimicking insects that shake their hips to mimic leaves blowing in the wind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY that for a few precious weeks, I could amble around the back areas and staff-only floors of the museum, and IT WAS MAGIC.
