1. Snakes - I know some are afraid and I get it. I have this insane fear of spiders that's on par with some people's snake fears. Still, they are some of the most beneficial creatures we've got (minus the infestation in the Everglades). They are nature's pest control. I'm in a Facebook snake group that helps educate people on identifying venomous vs. non-venomous, behavioral considerations, coloration anomalies, and gentle ways to shoo them away without putting you or the snake in danger.
