It is impossible to pick a single favorite, but at least close to the top are genera of Geotrupidae such as Enoplotrupes, Lethrus, Blackburnium, and Bolborhachium. None of the craziest Blackburnium or Bolborhachium have been observed yet. I like just about all insects though. Outside of beetles (which are my definite favorite order), I would say mantises, walking sticks, Megaloptera, Scorpionflies, Snakeflies, and Neuroptera. I also like non-insects like Collembola, scorpions, and Jumping spiders. (sorry to be quoting my response on this forum post almost exactly, but it applies here too.)
