👉 An ophidologist is a scientist who studies insects. They study the behavior, biology, and ecology of insects, including their life cycles, reproduction, feeding habits, and interactions with other organisms. Ophidologists often use specialized equipment to identify and study insect species, and they are trained in using various techniques such as traps, light, and heat to capture and study insects. They also work closely with researchers studying other forms of life, such as plants and marine animals.
