Is this insane?
I totally just jacked the fuck out of a cockroach with my shoe as it was crawling across my computer desk. It is utterly incapable of harming me in just about any way given a few incredibly rare events we could neglect. It would intentionally have to be doing me harm. But it has no such intelligence or capability of intent. Nothing else in nature

maybe it's the excessive kinetics of moths around a porch light or a skittery (or worse FLYING) roach...i don't think a lady bug or a butterfly ever seems in danger of violating an orifice cos there seems to be something a little more consensual/peaceful/predictable about the interaction? i will say that i was a little heebed when i went to a butterfly house despite my general appreciation for brightly colored flying things. too many in too small a space to keep an eye on.
maybe it's meeting an invader in your household? i've never had a butterfly in the house, but in the case of a lady bug who is carried in unwittingly or something, i would guess that either butterfly or ladybug would be eagerly awaiting escape into the open. the roach or the moth? they will happily live in your home, rent free, sleeping in or on your walls, stealing your toenails and sweater integrity until the day you fight back...and being as mutually intelligible negotiating tactics are so few, raid or the bottom of a shoe is expedient, i guess.
i stepped on a giant slug the other day (didn't squish it, just put my foot down on it long enough to register slime and recoil in horror) and i couldn't stop FEELING that my skin was being touched - localized residual creeps. it really makes no goddamn sense that i can find.
