This post hits home. As a child I was a notorious bug killer. The tortures I devised make me sad now. I drive my family nuts because I refuse to kill insects. I just can't do it anymore. I don't fear insects, so I'm the designated spider, beetle, and cricket remover in our home. I carefully bring them outside rather than murdering them these days.

BTW- I don't kill lantern flies, which makes people furious.
