Have you ever saved an insect or Archnid? 🕷🐝🪲🐛

I try not to kill bugs unless they’re pests.
I released a spider outside just this morning.

I don’t mind spiders because they take care of those aforementioned pests…
But I do take out their webs if they get out of hand…

it depends on the bug (if i see a mosquito or fly it’s on sight ) but for the most part i try to catch them and let them go back outside.

As long as it isn't a pest insect (mosquito, roach etc) I typically prefer to leave them be, but if they're inside and really shouldn't be I'll try to gently capture them and let them outside. I also have a soft spot for bees and have lifted them up out of water, or noticed tired ones and placed them on a flower so they could get some nectar.

I have taken a few bugs out of water. My favourite was a beautiful blue dragonfly where I had to use a brush to lift it out from underneath.

Absolutely! Although the funniest was probably the bee on my freaking pillow. Grabbed a couple of cups, scooped him up and sent him back outside on his way and told him nap time was over.

Moths are the most rescued in my current house. Every year we get a Miller Moth migration and they get everywhere. Every year though, I make the same mistake of catching one, and as I open my front door to let it outside, at least ten more that were hiding in the door jambs fly into my house. So the saving starts again, but much more frustrating the second round.

I have also caught and released big spiders that give me literal nightmares, but I don't want to hurt them.
