Thank you all folks for taking the time to respond.
Nirofo, i dread to think what some "pro's" may do.
I think that it is another topic that is open to the individual, and what they deem to be acceptable. It concerns me though, when a "professional" such as Mr. Hoddinott, can print this and any novice photographer/ wildlife enthusiast can then assume it is perfectly acceptable to do likewise.
I may kill insects whilst driving my car but this does not open the door for me to stress, injure or worse, kill any creature just so I have a good image.
It really is frustrating to try and get a good image of an insect, they're small and move quick. (well far faster than I can move.)
BUT!!! When we do get a good shot, a good image that is acceptably sharp throughout, with the insect in it's natural habitat, is that not where the enjoyment really lies?
Cheers folks, Dean.
