I hate to hear them crunch though…

They’re considered pests; they eat people’s plants. Still I hate to kill them.

But I always rescue earthworms that I see on sidewalks or in parking lots, where they would surely be stepped on or run over, I move them to a safer place. And spiders I leave alone (or take outside if they bother others), except for the black widows we have here; those I reluctantly kill.

And I have no idea what any of this does for my karma.

Maybe the Buddhist philosophy should be upheld. But isn’t the biggest folly of cockroaches the speed with which they breed?
Have you got tweezers, a steady hand, powerful magnifying glass??? :D

Apparently not. There was a similar problem at a monastery in Penang earlier this year: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6441631.stm
