A university student from Wuhan, Hubei province, has maintained a collection of more than 10,000 insects in his dormitory during his four years of college, Chutian Metropolis Daily reported. The student, named Zhao Yuchen, now has nearly 1,000 followers on his social media accounts.
Zhao first became interested in insects as a child. He started keeping insects at home during middle school in order to observe their growth. It was his love for these creatures that made him choose biology as his major in college.

After entering university, Zhao spent a great deal of time looking for insects around the campus's hills, bushes and lakes. He even built special chambers for the insects in his dormitory to simulate various growing conditions. Zhao said he released most of the insects when they grew into adults, and those that died he made into specimens.
In order to keep a record of the insects, Zhao has written copious journal entries, which together form a 15-centimeter-thick journal. He has also posted nearly 10,000 photos on the Internet to share his experience with other insect lovers.

During college, Zhao kept a total of more than 10,000 insects spanning eight orders and 21 families.
