Insects:Why do most of us hate them?

-Insects:Why do we hate them?-
Imagine this scenario:A group of teenagers were camping.One of them,poked a beehive for fun.Suddenly,bees started rushing out of the beehive,trying to sting the whole lot of teenagers.Then,one of them took out a 'Anti-Bee spray' from his bag and went on a spraying spree.Every bee was killed.

The above story tells us that it is unfair to the bees because the youngster,who knew that poking a beehive will result in bees trying to sting you,but he did it intentionally.The bees were killed in the end.For fair judgement,the whole lot should have ran away or jump into a deep puddle of water.That way,the bees would have fly away back into their beehive.But still the moral of this story is never to disturb insects(especially when you know you're doing it).

Why do some people dislike/hate insects?
Most of us hate insects probably because they are annoying or look ugly.
Fact is,insects don't live long and are mostly to be killed or eaten by other creatures.The giant waterbug may look huge,ugly and scary but it bites people because it is either frightened or annoyed.By the way,a tiny insect is way more scared than you are of it.More than thousands of insects are being killed by people everyday.Cockroaches are being called a pest because they dirty and eat our food but it's their way of living and they need to survive.Cockroaches are not really dirty creatures.It has cleans itself on some of the times.The only dirty part of a cockroach is its legs.One last thing:eyes of an insect may look huge and scary but they can't help it.Their eyes are actually quite useful in some ways.

What can we do to prevent insects from extinction?
We can do alot of ways to protect them.
1.If you see a cockroach,use an empty jar and to hold the cockroach in it.
Release it outside in the grass.
2.Place garlic or anything that has a strong smell(don't place bad smelling stuff) in places where you store food.Ants dislike those.
3.For flies,shoo them outside but not kill them!

Once again,thanks for reading this and I hope that insects may still live in 2050 or more!
