My son is turning 4 very soon. Well, he is 100% fascinated with bugs. I thought this was normal little boy behavior, but no this goes way beyond that. He sits and reads insect books almost all day lol. Sits with me for hours looking at pics on the internet of insects. He also watches insect shows on discovery and animal planet. He is obsessed.

Well, he wants a scorpion. BAD. I don't think its really a good pet for a 4 year old. He won't be able to touch it, just look. I think it would be very boring for him. Could also potentially hurt him.
So by not getting him a scorpion, I don't want to put a damper his passion for bugs. This is something he really enjoys. My little future entomologist. I just want something he can enjoy, play with and not get hurt. Any ideas? Maybe ant farm? Anything else hands on anyone here knows about?

Thanks.
