Saving Box Elder Bugs

My dear sweet daughter got off the bus this afternoon. When she walked to the front door she said "Look Mommy".
Out of the little mesh pocket of her backpack she pulled out a crawling box elder bug. "Where did that come from?" I asked.

"We found it this morning in the school. Everyone was bothering it and I was afraid someone would step on it. So I put it in my backpack."

"So it's been in your back pack all day?" I asked.

"Yes, I saved it" she answered. "Can I keep it?"

uhhhhh NO. Let him be free. Free as a bird.
