Depends on the bug. Big aggressive spiders don't fly with me. Anything that can hurt me or my mom's dog dies. Like those weird worm/earwig/pincherface things. One of them bit Lovey (we did not name her) and made her bleed and her leg swelled up. The bug did not see another day.

Steve you're so helpful.

Well.... it's LIKE a katydid.

Weird. I know we have camel crickets, black fields, jerusalem and mormon crickets, never heard of a bush cricket. Haha.

Ok there i get that. I would kill a poisonous spider, or anything in my house that could harm my dog, but technically I either go "that's awesome" and go about my business, or I remove it alive. Everyone in the house was freaking out over a big orb weaver. I told them to chill out, picked it up, and took it outside. That spider has been living peacefully by our bay window for a month now. He's huge.

Kinda looked like a "grasshopper" to me. Not sure of it though. Steve may have it right with the cricket reference.

Nah, it's not a grasshopper.
