Do you feel bad when you have to kill insects in your home?

I just spent the last hour chasing a giant moth around my house. He was a bit of a legend. He refused to die and was avoiding me (while injured) for a good while. I feel very bad for killing him, but unlike spiders you can't really catch moths and put them outside. If he could understand English I would have told him he…

Giant moths are terrifying and must die.... the corpse has to be viewed for verification. The dead moth dust on the walls is a bastard tho. A giant moth turin shroud type thing. (shudder)

Spiders get evicted.

Butterflies are just giant moths in fancy coats - die.

As an animal lover and believer in animal equality killing insects would upset me. I know people think I'm mad but I killed a blue bottle last year at work because a nurse at work was screaming telling me to kill it and my instinct was to just step on it to shut her up. After I realised I did it I was upset all he was doing was minding his own business and I ended his life. But in all seriousness I would feel bad because they can't defend themselves
