  Almost since Sophia Spencer started walking, the seven-year-old girl would catch insects(昆虫), study them, let them crawl all over her, and even sing to them before letting them go back into the wild.

  But while Nicole, Sophia's mother, saw this hobby as excellent and educational, Sophia was called a 'weirdo'(古怪的人)by children at her school. Kids would refuse to play with her and one boy even killed one of Sophia's insect friends after asking to have a closer look. Sophia was even hit and dragged through the mud by bullies over her hobby. But the teachers did nothing about the names and teasing(捉弄).

  It was this heartbreaking treatment that eventually led Nicole to write an E-mail to the Entomological Society of Canada (ESOC) looking for a professional entomologist (昆虫学家)to help her little girl understand that she should not let the teasing stop her from being herself.

  The email ended up in the box of Morgan Jackson, a social media volunteer for the organization. Touched by the story, he posted the letter on the official account and asked for help.

  "A young girl who loves insects is being bullied & needs our support, " he wrote.

  The letter suddenly took off. Female entomologists from around the world shared photos and videos of themselves at work with all kinds of insects and wrote to Sophia telling her not to give up on her dreams.

  In just one day, Nicole had received dozens of messages from scientists all over the world. And not only were they happy to chat to Sophia, but also offered to send her supplies and books to help her in her studies.

  When she heard about the outpouring of support and offers, Nicole said Sophia was jumping up and down on the bed, so excited that there are female entomologists, scientists and biologists all over the world.
