Respect for nature?

A caterpillar I found in December fell out of some flowers that my sister had been given, it was too cold to put it outside so I looked after it, watched it make a cocoon and then today found that the little 'Angle Shades' moth had um hatched? ^^ I think things like this are so special it's like magic. I just wish more people could appreciate things like this...and not try to kill them at first sight.
So yes it's important to look after nature....not do something so stupid as what I captured here, seriously, what moron does this? there's a free place they can take this kind of thing just in town.
