The vast majority of insects never come in CONTACT with people. People are afraid of a lot of things for no particular reason. I don't disagree with you....there was a certain amount of tongue-in-cheek to what I said, but everything I said was true. I could tell you stories about a lot of things to do with insect infestations. But this much I know....the number of insect species we impact is actually minimal compared to the overall number of species. In case you did not know, and most people don't, there are OVER 350,000Well, I guess you are right about that. In the cases of insects to people someone politically disagrees with, killing them seems to be the first reaction. I guess I need to get out of my faith-in-humanity delusion and start living in the real world. ?
And for what you said, Saddlebum, I agree that you can defend yourself against insects perfectly fine. I just mean going out of one's way to kill bugs that are not bothering them at all seems wasteful. The vast majority of insects do nothing to hurt anyone, but the ones that do cause a prejudice that gives them all a bad rap...
species of Beetles, alone, in the world. I would challenge anyone here to name six different species without a google. Still, I don't advocate killing them for no cause, and I never do. When my kids were growing, they'd catch lightning bugs in jars; the house rule was...they will be turned loose before bedtime. Your faith in humanity has nada to do with bugs.
