I try to save worms, myself. Earthworms. They crawl out on sidewalks during heavy rains, and then some of them get stuck and start drying up and can't get back. When I see them, I pick them up and put them back in the grass. I've wondered whether I should try to pour water on them, but I've never actually tried to look it up. I also try very hard to put spiders outside of the house when I find them. When the kids were babies, I did go through a period of killing spiders that I found inside, just in case, as some of them will make painful bites, even though they aren't poisonous. Now I've reverted to just putting them outside. Ants, too. Wasps I try to shoo out because I am afraid that if I try to kill them, they'll get ticked off. If they are in a place where I know I can kill them, I'll do it, otherwise I open the window and wave them out with a broom. But moths in the house are toast. I assume that they are either the ones that eat wool clothes or the ones that get into the flour and spoil it. Whap! And centipedes, too. Have you ever killed a centipede? All the legs keep wiggling, horribly. I'm sorry for being morbid. Ish started it.
