Bugs - God's creatures

What does God say about how we should treat bugs. How many bugs can you name.
 
i try not to kill any creature unless i have a valid reason. pest, poisionous and i cant move nor avoid them.ie if i see ant colony in a water meter. yes if i can i will find a way to remove that colony but if its in some field? No.
 
That's funny, to me because when I was young I was pretty cruel to bugs and loved my magnifying glass. Yep ill admit it. But now Im older and hopefully wiser its a complete about face. Non venomous spiders in my home get put in a glass and then let go outside. Venomous though logic tells me to not muck about with them and they get sprayed or otherwise got rid of. I only kill what I really need to or should.
When I am out doing my hobby, metal detecting, I often will dig up a bug or two, even worms now and then. I move them to the side and when Im finished try to put them back in place under the dirt or wherever they came from. We have lots of highly venomous snakes too here in Australia and when I come across those out in the bush I just stay away from them. When they are on the rode I drive around them though the common thing over here is to run them over. If I saw one in a suburban area though I would dispose of it for the safety of others. I try to treat them all, bugs and others, with the respect they deserve as Gods creations but not above that of humans or peoples safety.
 
i will kill a snake if its a poisonous one. why? some are aggressive and will attack without provocation.ie the copperhead and water moccasin and asp. these attack going forward and are the water mocassin holds territory
 
When sin came in to the world in Genesis, weeds and uncooperative beasts and creatureres which had previously not been a feature of the good Garden, started to characterize the physical world.

I don't think it's a good idea to assume that weeds, bugs, etc supposedly represent some kind of weed-centered, or bug-centered paradise, which mere humans are subservient to.
 
Insects are awesome. They are so various and diverse and pretty, and they are so fundamentally essential for life on earth.
I would always treat them with respect and wonder and do what I can to avoid their death.
 
I like squirrels, they got cool personalities. I'm starting to like bees too. A bee flew into the office one time, so i got a stick from outside so he could land on it. He actually did land on it, for about 5 seconds. Then my co-worker directed him to the door with plastic ware, lol. I like bees.
 
Well, bugs are very numerous. If they weren't killed, we'd be overrun with them. So I think it's perfectly justified in most cases. They're also pests in a good variety of cases. Mosquitoes, flies, spiders (especially poisonous spiders), roaches, termites, etc. They all serve some use, especially spiders since they eat a lot of bugs. But I don't want them in my home.
 
What do you all think of stink bugs. It's like New York City Pt 2 in the summer, haha. ugh their everywhere.
 
Bugs gross me out so bad! The only ones I like are ants, lady bugs, rolli pollies, and praying mantises. Regardless, bugs in general make me scream like a baby if I feel one crawling on me!

I heard that you swallow 10 spiders in your sleep in a lifetime. Think that's true?
 
Oh, I love rolli-pollies. :) I used to try to keep them. But then I found out the hard way they don't survive very long outside the soil--they're actually crustaceans (sp?) and need the water in the soil to survive.
 
I have sort of a pseudo-phobia with bugs. I say that because only some of them bug me...no pun intended. Seriously though there are certain ones that terrify me. Some I think are understandable like some kinds of wasps and spiders and whatnot.

But bugs like the praying mantis, stick bugs, locusts, house centipedes, june bugs, and others that really don't bother humans just scare the you-know-what out of me. If I'm outside, I avoid them at all costs. If they're in my home, my brain stops every function except for figuring out the fastest, most effective way to dispose of the pest while minimizing the chance it could touch me.

At night if there's one in the house, and I can't see it because we have lights down so the kids won't wake up, my wife kills my june bugs for me.

No, I'm not joking. Yes, that is pitiful. And yes, she would hurt me if I didn't confess that. :oops

Although in my (slight) defense, I am the resident spider-getter-ridder-ofer in the house.

Now THAT sounds like something the mean teenagers tell the little kids, just to keep them from sleeping!

No... I don't believe it at all.

When I was in kindergarden, some kid in 1st grade told me that earwigs go into your ears while you slept! Scared the crap outta me! LOL
 
Hi Angel. Coolest thing metal detecting. There's a few. One was a 1859 Indian head penny from the US which I found on a goldfield over here in Australia. Found some nice nuggets too.
But years ago my wife and I had a big disagreement and her wedding ring got tossed in the toilet :lol Then I found an old wedding ring when I was out detecting, a gold one in good condition, on some old gold diggings and it fitted her finger perfectly. She now wears that. I think that's probably the coolest. Earwigs in the ears, I was told that too. I used to go bush with a friend detecting and used to stay in a really old caravan. Spiders kept appearing all the time here, there and everywhere in it when we stayed there. It used to freak me out that much worrying about them crawling in my ears when I slept that I used to fill my ears with cotton wool each night :lol

When that bee landed on the stick, it knew I was trying to help him or her. That bee was really cute. :D
