Bumble bee is drunk friend
Drunk friend that makes candy
Flies and mosquitos are friend food 🦇🐦⬛
Flies are not an enemy, and are fren food so they are ok.
Mosquitoes are the enemy, diseases, infernal sound and itchy bites. No purpose that flies aren't here to do.
Must build bat house(s).
Tarantula hawks are big wasps but friendly (unless you’re a tarantula).
Rats are big fluffy friend that never shower, reek, and likely harbor many diseases 🥰
Rats actually keep themselves pretty clean, they are constantly grooming themselves. But yeah, I'd not pet a wild one.
rats piss literally everywhere
The rule of thumb is simply, don't bother it, and it won't bother you. I don't bother killing insects unless there's a possibility it can infect us with something. For example ticks, I show no mercy. If I see one on my property or in my home, it's dead.
Another example, mosquitoes, they need to go extinct and all burn in hell. That and also bed bugs, fuck them too.
I also wish ants were not that invasive, I love them but hell they can be annoying.
I feel bad killing black widows on my property, but they're just too dangerous.
Sheeeeit I would too.
They're non-aggressive and avoid humans, but there's always the risk they'll get startled and bite in self-defense.
Exactly right. They could be on your bed while you're asleep.. you roll over onto them or make a movement and bam.. next thing you know you're waking up in excruciating pain. And would suck if you can't find what bit you... if I can't find it and it looks pretty bad (worst than a bee or wasp sting), I'm more than likely going to the hospital.
They prefer dark enclosed places, thankfully. I've never seen one in the house, just the garage, garbage bins, and shed.
Didn't that sound a lot like under the sheets of a bed?
Technically ticks are arachnids, not insects.
And also yeah. Fuck ticks altogether.

I legit can't imagine hurting a bee. Wasps I'm less sympathetic to. But I love bees.
The bee murdering is believed to be worse, then killing a wasp, because they are "hard working" aka useful for us.
Depending on where you live it may be hard to distinguish some bees from wasps, like the mason bee (my second favourite bee)
I feel that way about some spiders ive found in my home. I dont bother them and they dont bother me. Long as they keep it that way they cant have all the bugs they want
I have a pact with the spiders in my house. If I spot them running across the floor or on the ceiling or tucked away in a corner, they're not bothering me, so I won't bother them. If I see one in an inconvenient place like the dinner table or hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room, I gently relocate them outdoors.
But...if I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep and I feel one crawling up my arm, it's broken the pact, and it can't be trusted to leave me alone anymore, so it gets a quick and painless death.
Yep. Thats the correct policy
Dude is covered in feathers and leather, but will not kill a bee.
And that is your meme hero.
No they died of natural causes... Humans are natural right?
- Kill animals for food
2a. throw away the parts you can't eat
2b. now that the animal has died at least use everything it offers
the only animal/insect I kill are Cockroaches because they are nasty and ugly and come out of the sewer, but even the roaches I don't like to kill with the shoe. I poison them with spray. Idk why. I do feel sorry for the roach but can't have it walking around my house
Aren't we all just disgusting, ephemeral creatures crawling around the surface of this fragile rock hurtling through an uncaring void? :)
A good chunk of us for sure
yes
Yes, and if I were invading someone else's space and tracking poop around, I wouldn't fault someone for squashing me.
Have you tried asking the roaches why they're scurrying around your house on their disgusting little legs?
Isn't spraying with poison the more cruel way to kill it?
Either it will die during an immediate fight for life or bring the poison to the nest, where all of them slowly die.
Oh no I use the spray one. They die in 2 seconds dont have time to say goodbuy to their kids
Beeing*
I love bees! Sometimes I can't help but gaze closely at them as they're wedging themselves in the digitalis purpurea and working hard for their hive!
this is some Nobel Savage shit OP
