i just picked one up on a piece of paper. (if possible, i like to put paper over them before i kill them. no bug juice on my shoes.) i looked at it and watched it and let it walk around the paper. it has tiny little antennae and was actually kinda shy, curling up on itself when it felt threatened. then it decided to *trust me*, and unfurled its antennae and started walking around again.
so i couldn't kill it. i put it in a jar that used to hold an air freshener gel... so it has an open top. then i took the jar and the pede outside and released the pede in the field across the street. "you have pleased me. you will be allowed to live! *genocidal dictator cackle*"
now i think i'll probably be catching and releasing as many as possible. i just hate killing them but there are enough to BOTHER me.
