The human species have become the biggest disease on this planet. We more or less destroy and pollute anything in our way. So the argument that some insects can be dangerous and carry diseases is ridiculous in comparison. As higer beings we should take care of this planet as good as we can and with the least harmfull impact on the ecosystem as possible.

you kill a bug... nothing happens. at least, nothing significant.

People die every second around the world, manily the third world, nothing happens. at least nothing significant.

Animals are capable of feeling pain and also of learning. Insects are not.

That's just daft, why wouldn't an insect feel pain and be able to learn something? Just look at bees and ants. Extraordinary creatures with a far more advanced civilization and than most contries in Africa for example.
Many insects are very important for the ecosystem, servings as food for birds, eating (decomposeing) dead animals, spreading seeds from flowers etc.

I try not to kill insects for moral reason and even try to help them out if they get in my room or something. But sometimes I have to get rid of them, especially moths, they are the spawn of satan and plain disgusting.

Most animals are horizontal, since
Their homeland is not other than this Earth;
But man’s essential stance is vertical;
Free will to choose Salvation proves his worth.

Nobility some animals possess:
The genius of their symbol lives in them.
They can be more than a corrupted man;
Only their possibilities are less.

Be humble when you meet creation, for
An animal may be a sacred door.
Do not despise a noble plant, a stone:
They bring a message from God’s blessèd Throne.
