Earwigs are usually refused by fish, but if eaten, they could halt growth or
kill the fish. True bugs can inject a toxin and digestive fluid that
dissolves the fish internally. Stinging insects like bees are pollinators and
should be released. Others like the assassin bugs are predators on harmful
insects that destroy vegetation, so they should be released unharmed too.
