I think about this too! I avoid the ones I can see though.

My eyes are always on the ground while walking I won't put spiders out unless I know it's a species that belongs outside, a lot of spider species have adapted to living indoors and by putting them OUT it's killing them. I refuse to kill any insect or animal (Directly. Yes I eat meat, no i'm not proud of it.)

This idea used to bother me as it seemed that, at it's basic core, life entailed the destruction of other life. i.e. bacteria are just life forms trying to live in us, the air we breathe may take it from some other being, the water we drink deprives some other creature.

But now I realize that (a) life in never-ending, even for an ant. So if we step on them, they will or may take some other form. They came in to experience "ant" and so that's part of it. (b) nature is spirit's way of providing us with what we need. It is the materialization of our desires (i.e. created by us/them).

This sounds cold, but it's really not--at least in my eyes. It is quite beautiful.

I myself try to avoid squashing little bugs...but...now I have lovely 'Shaver Hens' and their very protective 'Rooster' and they just love to eat a tasty 'cockroach/spider/worm and all other plentiful bugs or two. I now leave them to feast on 'bugs' that I would have rescued/avoided in the past.
What we try to avoid squishing will be consumed by other 'bug' eating creatures.

Every Single Living Organism Is A Part Of "The Food Chain".

I was mocked once because a daddy long legs had a leg trapped in a window. I made a fuss til the window was unlocked and it could fly away. I told them that just because we cant hear them crying it does'nt mean theyre not!!!
