Try to tell someone dying of some disease carried on by those "annoying" insects that they should be appreciated. Yes, everything IN ITS PLACE belongs, but insects do NOT belong on human beings or their food. Sometimes we need a good Zen slap to understand this.
A good point, thanks. All I would add is that I'd draw a distinction between the diseases in question, which are of course far more than an annoyance, and the insects themselves.
Thank you. Corrie ten Boom did say that the fleas in her place in the concentration camp kept the Nazis away from that place. Thank G-d the fleas were not carrying bubonic plague. Everying in context. . . .
