Is it normal to feel compassion for insects?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to feel compassion for insects. People vary in how strongly they care about them, but feeling bad when an insect is hurt or killed is a perfectly human response.
You may see an insect as a living creature trying to get by, and that can bring out the same empathy you feel for other animals. Some people carefully carry bugs outside; others barely think about them. Neither reaction means there’s anything wrong with you.
You can care about insects without feeling responsible for saving every one you encounter. It’s also normal for your compassion to depend on the insect or situation—most people draw their own line between a butterfly in the house and a mosquito buzzing around their head.
