Do you feel bad about killing bugs/insects?

[edn88]

I don't feel bad about personally killing bugs that bug me - but honestly my car is responsible for killing more bugs than I can ever kill.

My four year old is also getting into the act - he squashes mosquitoes and ants that have invaded our home.

I have a very strict rule regarding killing spiders. If they are in MY house, they die. No mercy. It's an invasion of my territory, and I'm not about to let them get cozy and make baby spiders.

For the most part, I don't feel bad for killing insects/spiders inside my house, but I try to avoid it outside (mosquitos excluded).

Spiders, Mosquitos, flies and ants are dead as soon as them walk into my house. Ladybugs and Beetles I usually let outside. I will try to never kill a Bee. Wasps and Hornets get the newspaper treatment.

For every bug that dies, a piece of me dies. I cry myself to sleep everynight.

Do you live on a farm or something? I hate mice...if my house was infested with mice I would burn it down and start all over.

I shoot bugs...with my camera.

Thankyou for posting that. I was trying to figure out who the guy on CP was that was the pro bug photog. I have been meaning to ask you what lens you are using, your shots are awesome. Also do you have a flikr page?

Carl: We thought there might be a Brain Bug on 'P'.
Carmen: You knew and still you sent them?
Carl: We couldn't afford to launch an operation if there wasn't one.
[both Carmen and Johnny look at Carl with contempt]
Carl: You disapprove? Well, too bad! We're in this war for the species, boys and girls. It's simple numbers. They have more. And every day I have to make decisions that send hundreds of people like you to their deaths.

Where'd you learn to do that soldier?

At school, sir. I was on the team.

Rico?

I don't even like killing palmetto birds, uh, bugs. But since they're considered a horrid , disgusting societal pox I'm somewhat obligated to do so.

[Cheerio]

Wow I hate all insects/arachnids. And I'll kill all the ones I can except butterflies and caterpillars.

[DownhillGoat]

Haven't felt bad about killing an animal/mammal/insect yet. I'm not about to start now. Especially with fataing bugs. Where's the green text for the thread title?

I'll let ladybugs go, because they're kind of a cute bug. However I won't go out of my way to do it.

Also, any bug that will result in messing up my carpet or something if I squish it where it is may get a pass.

I usually only kill wasps and mosquitos. I don't understand the fear of moths that many have, to me they are just ugly, dumber butterflies. Spiders get a free pass, centipedes I just ignore in the basement. Usually any insect or arachnid that finds its way inside dies due to lack of food and water.
