I am into entomology. Otherwise known as collecting insects.
Oh wow! that is very interesting. do you collect them dead or alive?
Alive. There are 1.3 million different insect species. It's a fulltime hobby
That is very cool! what is the coolest bug you have caught?
A flower mantis, such a pretty insect. They have a 3-part body (a head, thorax and abdomen) and jointed legs, compound eyes and antennae. 
That is so cool! what do you do with them?
however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers, while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly's compound eyes have nearly 24,000 ommatidia each.
Fossils of very large dragonfly ancestors in the Protodonata are found from 325 million years ago (Mya) in Upper Carboniferous
Insect collecting
Insect collecting refers to the collection of insects and other arthropods for scientific study or as a hobby. Because most insects are small and the majority cannot be identified without the examination of minute morphological characters, entomologists often make and maintain insect collections. Very large collections are conserved in natural history museums or universities where they are maintained and studied by specialists. Many college courses require students to form small collections. There are also amateur entomologists and collectors who keep collections.
Historically, insect collecting has been widespread and
