Absolutely 😀I always imagine myself being rightfully weird to the animals I photograph. Since I spend plenty of time with insects, watching them through the macro lens, I don't even perceive them as strange anymore. Fascinating yes, but not strange. But the stories about insets behaviors and biology can sound pretty weird to people, just like some invented biology in the SF movie. And is usually weird in a cool way. Even when there is a feeling of repulsion, there is at least a bit of wow! or amazing! mixed with that. From my experience with people around me. Yes, definitively the weirdness is always in the eye of the beholder while the universe is doing its stuff.
