I felt this way about bugs ever since I was a small child. I accidentally killed a spider a couple of weeks ago, trying to get it out of the house. I was really sad. Spiders are actually pretty gentle creatures. They are easy to kill. When I didn't have a baby, I just let them live and crawl away. Now, I try to catch them or shoe them out of the apartment.
Flies on the other hand, cross the line, when I can't get some sleep with a fly buzzing around and landing on me. I don't feel sorry for killing one. I don't know why.
