yes, they are living souls. that's how God describes them.
נפש חיה = "nephesh chayyah" = living soul
exactly the same phrase as Genesis 2:7.
your English Bible is wrongly translated. go look it up and see if what i'm saying isn't true
it doesn't matter if you like it.
your opinion and your preferences were not polled.
what matters is that this is the truth, whether you can believe it or not.
And God said,
Let the earth bring forth the נפש חיה after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:
and it was so.
(Genesis 1:24)
'creeping thing' is how the Hebrew describes insects. נפש חיה = "nephesh chayyah" = living soul
exactly the same phrase as Genesis 2:7.

It is appointed once for a man to die and then faces judgement. What happens to those poor little cockroaches? Do they face God in judgement?
ONLY HUMANS ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD AND HAVE ETERNAL SPIRITS. I'm not even going to bother posting Scripture about this because this is Scripture 101.

they have no sin - what would they be judged for?
that's your opinion and nothing more.
you have not appealed even to a single verse.
if you have scripture saying only humans have spirits, give it.
you gave human commentary, that's all.
i gave you the Bible, and you rejected it.
the Bible calls animals souls, the Bible says animals have the same spirits men do, the Bible says people are animals and are no different.
everyone reading this can see that.

i physically killed a colony of yellow-jacket wasps in my yard last week.
i cannot kill their souls. i cannot destroy their spirits; i separated their spirits from their bodies. that's physical death.
i felt awful about it, but they were a danger to my family. my wife is allergic and already suffered 3 stings. that's physical-life-threatening, for her. i can't let them live in her proximity. their home can't be in my yard.
i exercised dominion. that's what our being made 'in the image of God' means: we have authority over the other living souls.
it doesn't mean i'm better than them: in fact i'm worse; i sin and they don't. they know their Creator and i forget Him.
it only means God has placed me in a seat above theirs.

Not to worry my friend, hornets are very dangerouse. i go into severe shock from wasp and hornet stings, my limpnodes swell up and i struggle to breath, as for the cockroach it was allmost on its a way into my bedroom, i didnt want to kill it but was scared it could make me ill, my younger sister nearly died from illness caused by cockeroaches.
I once saved a bumble bee who was drowning in water, it was amazing to see the life return to it, to hear its emotions and see the life return to it when it was almost dead, it came back and thanked me i think.
Then there was my golden hampster it died in my hands and i saw a flash of jasper light leave my hands.
