What has discipline got to do with it? I feel it’s pretty independent or may even get in the way of learning. If you force (discipline) yourself to learn something, it will feel much harder than if you do it out of joy. But maybe I didn’t fully understand what you were saying.
I mean, these are leaf beetles, so you would probably only need their host plant(s) and a controlled environment. But there are 3000 species in this subfamily that all look different. If you are talking about this specific beetle here, it is probably Stolas imperialis, which is a Brazilian species. So you would need to have access to this beetle first, probably deal with very strict export/import regulations and then also do the same for the beetle’s host plant(s). And then you have to probably have to figure out there life history, e.g. what they need to reproduce, where they lay there eggs and a ton of experimentation more…
