Yes, I agree that context always makes a difference as it will indicate what state the mind was in when a particular action was taken as well as the amount of harm that resulted from such action.
For me, intentional killing is an inherently unskillful act. What context does is that it can make intentional killing in some cases less or more unskillful than other cases.

The fact you are conscious of the bugs says a lot. Stay mindful, but don't get too overwrought about life-death. Like I said, it happens.
