I'm only too pleased to have helped save some wildlife Rick!
No matter what the insect is, nature has a very good food chain which enables survival of all species, unless man or natural disasters interfere.
Plants in general die back, and regrow, unless something is seriously damaging plants (red lily beetle!) then we are best leaving nature to it's devices and to help it survive. You can then pat yourself on the back for helping species survival, and enjoy watching it in the process.
A couple of days ago I was outside in the evening, under the Oak tree there was a mass of swarming insects lit up by the setting sun. It's a long time since I saw anything like it, many years ago hedge rows would be swarming with insects but with modern farming practices you would be lucky to see an insect. They are very important! My garden is now a mass of flowers which insects like to feed on, including native wildflowers, insects developed over thousands of years on them and many insects are species specific.
