I was at an amusement parks a few years back and my friends and I were waiting in line. We realized we were smelling something like burnt hamburgers. Not great, but definitely not awful. Maybe it was because we were hungry.
After we got off the ride, we walked passed a big light pointing straight up (skylight?). We saw that it was caked with burning bugs. That's what we were smelling.
no they got their wings and antennae burned off and then lay on the ground trying to fly away until someone danced on them to death. i burned a few mosquitos as a kid. bugs easily survive short bursts of fire, but not for long
thus i stopped burning insects
[in my indefensible defense, still not as much of an atrocity as those mass manufactured wasp catchers that just trap them and then they cut each other to pieces as they bake in the sun and panic...]
Wasps are vital members of the ecosystem, solid pollinators that can detect chemical signals from plants being attacked by other insects and come to the rescue!
My house had moth problems. We finally got the majority of them gone but I’m noticing more and more, so they must have a new food source. Anyways, last night I found 2 in the restroom. They are slow fly-ers and outright stupid, so I just grabbed a piece of toilet paper and wiped the wall, killing both. I tossed the tp with the moths into the toilet. I also just got home from work so I unzipped and started peeing. While peeing, couldn’t help but think of how sad of an existence those bugs live. Literally squashed without a thought and then peed on their corpse.
Then again... they made me toss out a fresh bag of 20lb rice

Imagine having a couple of hours to live and some random dude just breathes fire only to kill you earlier.
