Kill an insect just for...

Right! I also do this - though lately not out of humanity, but out of laziness (to straighten): I collect for almost a classmate.

I don't know, of course, but for example, catching butterflies under a lamp when a large hornet is flying there is very problematic. I kill him, of course, and I don't have any remorse. And killing Apollo this summer felt ambivalent. Still, the aesthetic perception of a particular insect plays a role.

Not about insects, but in the subject.
Then just now I found Mus musculus in the kitchen sink at the dacha, couldn't get out, jumped desperately on the edges and rolled back down. After the photo shoot, I put down a board to help. I must pay tribute, I guessed quickly enough and, of course, did not understand - " it's a MOUSE!!!". However, photos of a rodent with pleading beady eyes played their part, and I was forgiven

Yes, that's it.
Last year, I killed up to 2 dozen hornets in a night under a lamp in August. Sorry? what if every one of the twenty stung?
But Apollo does cause a mixed feeling. The rest of the lepidopteran fraternity mostly just flutters in the net, some folding their wings, others looking for a way out.
And this one-rustles its paws on the wings, thinks that it will scare you away.
It's getting pathetic, really. But you don't kill him out of idleness.

in fact, to kill for a collection is to kill just like that... So, yes, I kill insects just like that and I do not suffer from remorse gnawing )))))

Andrey, killing insects just like that is like a classic - "I looked out the window, but I crushed flies" (c)

I haven't even been able to get my hands on the Colorado Potato beetles lately.

You just need to choose the right family of insects. Choose the family Tabanidae from the order Diptera and go ahead. On a hot summer day, you get out somewhere in a swamp or on the shore of a forest lake. You put on a dark T-shirt (horseflies don't respect light T-shirts for some reason) and stupidly get up. A large horsefly from the genus Tabanus or Hybomitra is not so easy to take even with a net. It's best to wait for him to get on top of you, get comfortable, and start drinking your blood. Two or three hours of research on the horsefly fauna and there is no problem with killing these creatures. Verified.

Don't joke like that, shchyutnik.

Tick-borne encephalitis - carriers of horseflies???

I just stick to the concept that there is always a probability.
