I'll red-pill you on something, Crane Flies.
Invasive to the USA, their larval stage, often called leather jackets, eat plant matter in the ground, killing many crops over history in their native Europe. They're dangly retards and barely live long enough to eat or drink, assuming the one in question is the variety with functioning mouths. They're pests, nothing more, and yet people still defend them thinking they eat mosquitos because of colloquial memes based on their other name: mosquito hawk.
There's your redpill, go forth and cleanse these pests.

I just killed one of these yesterday. I felt bad because my policy is to not kill anything I can relocate but flying insects horrify me, especially crane flies.

Plenty of Crane Flies are native to the USA bro.

I always thought dragonflies were one of the few not scary insects as a kid, alongside honey and bumble bees

When I was a toddler I caught a bee by it's fucking wings mid flight and scared my family. Now I can't react to without around a 1 second delay.
