Catching dangerous insects: Smart or not?
I know this isn't about reptiles, but I know a lot of people here either know the dangers of or are used to dealing with dangerous animals (Plus I don't want to sign up for anymore websites than I need to)
I catch and amaturely study insects. I've been doing this for quite a few years. I have a 100 +/- page journal (Complete with photographs) of all of them I've caught. Up to this point I've avoided really dangerous insects (Those that are poisonous or dangerously venomous) fearing it to be stupid to deal with and for a time keep them. But I've been considering it for a while now.
So to those who know the dangers of dealing with dangerous animals and the experience needed to safely deal with them do you think I should deal with dangerous species of insects/spiders? or leave them be?
If a post like this shouldn't be on a reptile forum let me know and I'll take it down if it bothers to many people.
