I Want to Keep a Journal

Day 1
07/aug/2019

Today isn't over yet, however I want to write about how I caught a flying bug under a glass and released it outside. It made me realize I'm much more scared of insects as I thought. Especially the flying ones.
Usually I find something big to squash it. Big because I want to visibly see a big distance from my hands and the bug.
Anyway, I thought of letting this one live and release it. First I put a clear glass over it, but the thought that I'm going to have to touch the glass with my hands while it could jump and crawl on the sides of glass made me anxious, so then after a lot of self-motivation and a couple deep breaths, I used a ceramic cup to quickly take off the glass and cover the bug with it. It worked. Then I used a thick magazine as the bottom and got it outside.
Washed the cups thoroughly and exhaled with relief.

So, basically, you're like most everyone.

The people who seem unconcerned by bugs either have an interest in them or have simply taught themselves to control their emotions concerning the insects.

I got a kid's toy at CVS, it's called a "bug sucker". Basically it's a handheld motorized vacuum that traps bugs in a small cup with a turning lid that has magnifying lenses built into it so the kid can view the bug, then release it. It's really great for spiders and such. I'm a "kill it" kind of guy, but my wife wants catch and release, so this works for both of us.

@xixgun Looks interesting, it would work on crawlers. It's like u see a spider and you're like: "Quick! get the gun!" xD
