I think to a degree they can understand or learn that we are just helping them out. They have the capacity to see we aren't eating it or doing further harm...
I saw a huge dragonfly get caught in a spiders web last summer and I much liking dragonflies compared to spiders and having seen a decrease in the number of large dragonflies opted to save it. As I pulled it from the web it fought and fought till I had it out and started cleaning it's wings... Then it stopped fighting and just held on to my finger as I pulled at the wings and picked at it's legs... It stayed on my finger for a good 3 mins after I was done, then flew off but circled back twice right in front of my face before flying away...

I think most living creatures can realize when they are being helped... to a degree...
