Have you ever met an entomologist before. I am one of those that is involved in the scientific study of insects
No , I have never met an entomologist, must be an interesting job, Do you like insects?
Of course. Those are the organisms i study; any form of scientific study in which there is a focus on insect
So, you are an entomologist!  Do you study them alive or do you collect dead ones too?
Well t depends on what we are to study. There are various topics in question be it molecular genetics, behavior, biomechanics, biochemistry, systematics, physiology, developmental biology, ecology, morphology, and paleontology.
Interesting, and what is your favorite insect? I like ants and grasshoppers. 
It is against my work ethics to chose an insects as a favorite as we study them all. But Grasshoppers are cool insects though. They are likely the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous insects
Good to know.  So, I guess it would be against your principles to hate any of them, LOL.  I hate cockroaches and they must be very all too. 
You got it right. You do not hate any, you do not love any. My wife too hates cockroach. I never know she does. Well maybe because they are pest. We have  four species that are known for that
And what do you think about eating insects like they do in some places? They say they are high protein.
