It’s a mix between a few of those. Usually I leave them be. But if it’s one of those massive fast spiders then it’s killed unfortunately. I feel so bad doing it but I really don’t like them.

I don’t kill spiders unless one jumps on me and I’m startled. Spiders are great to have around unless they are poisonous biters. None of those around here.
Ants I usually kill. Same with centipedes/millipedes. Flies I try to swat if they land on me.
Ladybugs = c’mon bruh
Stink bugs I usually let live as they aren’t much of an annoyance or threat. They’re kinda chill.
Wasps/hornets are pretty much a guaranteed avoid or kill situation.
Bees mind their own business so I just let them be.
Cockroaches are on sight. Earwigs too tbh.
Moths I try to shoo or take outside. Same with lightning bugs. Never had a butterfly inside, but I’d do the same.

It depends. If it’s a moth or something harmful, that isn’t scary, I’ll release it out into the wild. But if it’s something like a Wasp, Hornet or a bad spider, I’ll kill it. Or make my husband kill it

I try not to kill anything. Why kill something thats just being? To me thats weakness. However if its something dangerous that could harm you or family, that “can be” different. If a bee comes in, I can soon shoo it out and its fine. A false-widow spider… if I can get it out, I will. If I cant, I cant. Got to weigh things up.

I’m a softie, so i take them in my hand, open a window and let them fly or put them outside or let them stay.

It depends on how cooperative insect is. If I can control it.
I hope they go out of window on their own. Sometimes I grab them with a piece of cloth and throw them out of house.
I have thrown out mantis on two occasions with a piece of cloth.
