That’s the ticket.
If people would only explain to children the benefits of spiders, as an example, they will not kill them. I tell my kids not to kill spiders as they are useful and are not dangerous. I think they get it.
As long as you give a sensible reason for not killing them, and other animals, they generally accept that killing them is not necessary.

That looks super , I’m planting my garden with photography in mind. (Whilst selling off 50% of my camera gear - either too heavy or duplicated)
Since my earlier post on this thread I’m buying two raised troughs, one will be for veggies like potatoes, onions and parsnips . The other will be for flowers , especially for pollinators

Clearing out old pots from last year, the sort that had sunflowers in them. I always leave them for the birds to take seeds.
Lots of pupae /larvae in the compost, I sifted the top layer, put in some osmecote tabs , put the larvae back in and topped up with fresh peat free compost
