I feel you, friend. I know the importance of bugs in the ecosystem, both extended and local. I will leave any small spiders and bugs I find in my house alone (other than ants, because stay out of my fucking kitchen, that's why).
But anything large or chitinous enough to "pop" or "crack" when I squish it just makes my skin crawl. In fact, I literally just had a shiver run down my back from typing this.
