I rationalize killing centipedes, which is usually the only bug that terrifies me to bits, as defending my property rights. He/she came into my home uninvited and is wreaking havoc (my fears) so I decided to kill him.
This afternoon, I was doing laundry and there was a potato bug and I wanted to save him from being trampled on. I tried to move him out of harm's way, but I think I accidentally killed him. I felt really bad.
Anyway, my question: is it wrong to kill bugs?
