I think I have the same bug catcher! No matter how we treat bugs, humans as a whole kill a heck of a lot of bugs. Even unintentionally, like by driving our cars or destroying habitats. While I will conceed that there is some doomsday thinking going on, I don't think it is unreasonable to spend relatively more time thinking about the scenarios that could be most harmful. I would rather humanity overindex a little on exploring the life threatening scenario vs how great the infinite Seinfeld episode is. But to each there own!

> I think I have the same bug catcher! Congrats then! It was my best purchase of 2022. I used to cry and feel gloomy for a few days when having to kill a large bug I feared could be deadly, but not anymore! As for driving etc., personally I would prefer to spend more brain cycles into making the world less dangerous for other species. We are not alone on this planet, so why can't we make cars less shaped like bricks and more aerodynamic? They would kill fewer bugs and be nicer looking too! As for the natural habitats, we have made a lot of progress: a single protected species can delay construction work for decades! There may be some abuses, but I believe we are trending in the right direction for the long term!
