@eskay I've always been interested but after lockdown in March 2019 I started walking in the countryside near me much more (what else was there to do - I've never got into Netflix box sets), bought a couple of good field guides, dug out my old DSLR and started looking at insects. There are some great web resources - it's never been easier to 'do' natural history - and I've sort of fallen into citizen science recording of what I see. I'm now recording Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies) at my local nature reserve. Only downside is all this is best done on windless sunny days which are also my favourite days for long rides in the Chilterns - cycling usually wins out.
Also most insects when you take a close look are both insanely bizarre and cool.
Think it was someone else from the Nat Hist Museum but I do seem to remember a far more informed comment from them on something than I could make.
