Is it wrong to kill insects?

bongo85

I used to catch spiders and throw them out but recently I learnt it's better to just leave them be. Ya only see them when they're hunting. When they're finished they return to their hideout and you don't see them again for another few days.

Anyway, anything that kills flies is good in my books, so just leave em be!

Moths on the other hand really piss me off. Those feckers have like no coordination and just end up flyin at ur head when ur readin a book in the dark with a torch Kinda fun to catch though!!

It's perfectly alright to kill anything female. We are the superior species and therefore can do what we want. Large females should only be killed for food though. Otherwise their numbers would thin out.

Flys are the most pointless creature to ever curse the face of the planet, they should all be destroyed. All they do is buzz around annoying the hole of every other animal on the planet and they persistently torment Ethiopians.

Lots of birds eat moths... I had a family of blue tits in the garden this summer and all they seemed to eat were moths.

OT... Live and let live... I like bugs.

I dont see as many bummble bees as i used to around my garden. Even fewer butterflys. My own feeling is that their numbers are dropping but i dont know that for sure.
Now that i think of it, i cant remember the last time i saw a grass hopper or even a frog.

Think of the bee's family, they will close the hive for a day as a mark of respect!

I agree, though I do eat meat I avoid killing anything where possible.

i remember in primary school, one of the kids reconed an earthworm would die if broken into 7 pieces

everytime he saw one, he would start breaking it and counting till he got seven, then walk off laughing


i often thought - how did the first five pieces know when the sixth piece had been split in too??

That sounds like a quote from Star Trek tbh.:rolleyes:

Every insect that's not a bee or a spider can happily go splat in my book

Natural selection folks. If you're bigger than it, kill it. Lions don't lay restless at night wondering if maybe they shouldn't have killed that zebra. The only problem in our case is conscious thought.
