As with most insects, it pretty much always depends on how convenient / inconvenient it is to capture & release them at the time of finding them. If it is very late and they sit in a bad spot then I’m not gonna go through the hassle. If they release some stink bomb shit when feeling threatened then I’m even less inclined to do so.
Please don’t kill these insects. While these only eat pollen, their larvae are highly carnivorous and will eat tons of pests.
Yup! They may be a little stinky in their adult form, but their larvae are great at getting rid of pests like aphids! Here’s a cool little video of them doing just that
