This brings up a lot of guilt I have for killing so many spotted lantern flies. I hate that it’s so necessary

My mom taught me growing up to deal with spiders like this. She proudly told me how her dad had taught her to do it. Now she's nearly 90 and when she sees a spider she's like KILL THAT FUCKIN THING!!!
Spiders are friends. I will terminate any centipedes found inside my house, though. The bastardly kind, not the house centipedes.
If you upvoted and you eat meat, then you're a hypocrite.
Spiders don't have human rights.
And still we can choose to treat them like a being that deserves to live, isn't that amazing?
Is not amazing to find one on your clothes, or being bitten by one and having to go to the ER.
Exactly. Why do people think killing the spider is what you should do? If they do that, they also cant complain if someone kills them for no reason.

If a human was knitting gross, sticky white shit on my wall, I think I'd kill them too.
