... very adorable by himself, I learned that bugs are quite popular for children in Japan. During summer, children collect bugs in parks or forests to keep them as pets. They're easy to care for, need little space, and you can bring them to your friend's bug for playing. Some even spend quite some money for ordering special bugs online. Can you imagine keeping a bug as pet? Maybe the famous Madagascar hissing cockroach? By the way, the 'mushi' (bug) category in Japan includes not only insects but basically all animals that don't have fur, like frogs or snakes, too.
