I don’t kill them unless I need to. One the other hand I get a special pleasure out of collecting Japanese beetles by the hundreds and throwing them in the lake for the fish.
What fish eats them, I thought they were not eaten by anything.
I did bag a bug last year, 5 of them. At peak I was changing them out once a day.
I always trap spiders and lizards etc. then relocate them outside. They contribute to the ecosystem.

Great idea, I never thought of it. Now I know what to do with the beetles when they invade my rose bushes this year.
When we caught a bug in high school, we didn’t take it outside. It went into the aquarium in science class, and the fish appreciated that.

Those fish, no doubt, do the harmony-with-nature dance with those beetles, and accept them into their family, just like in Disney movies.
