Aside from the typical baseball game w/fireflys not really much. Well, a few ant's have died from massive cigarette burns. Thats about it.

Oh I shoved burning incense up a praying mantis' rear while it was being attacked by ants.

When i was young, whenever i found a roach in my room i would take a needle and impale it. I would then set it straight up on a piece of styrofoam like a... what do you call it... a warning for other roaches to stay away and keep it up for a few days.

I froze a cricket with Freon and it became hard as a rock. Then it thawed out and came back to life.

I don't like to torture insects, even though they bother me. I don't get satisfaction out of torturing things.

Kick open an ant hill and drop random insects inside. Caperpillers and soft ones are more fun.

compressed canned air upside down against large wasp attacking me.
Wasp freezes and its wings shatter when it hit the ground.

Daddylonglegs - I pulled out the legs one by one.

We took the top of a CD spindle cake and trapped a wasp and a fly in it. Watched the wasp swoop down on the fly, swooped again and then ate it.

i took a spider and crushed all of its legs but i didn't rip them off. then i let him go
i suppose he's dead by now, somewhere in the house

i accidentally froze a fly as it flew into the freezer when i was getting an ice cream, i didn't notice the fly until the next time i opened the freezer

i took a grbu (those ones that live in the ground and eat grass roots and they're innards are all liquid) and i boiled its innards alive with the magnifying glass
