The Zoo
Hi Starman,
I think it has to do with the fact that people would have to crowd around the insect enclosure to see a smaller creature. Whereas you can see larger animals from a distance, and while you are approaching.
Also, people in general do not perceive the subtleties of insect behavior. They don't really do much (or so people think). Right or wrong, larger animals tend to be more relateable to more people.
Hope that helps,
