10. I like spiders and snakes too. Some insects are beautiful, and some are less so - yucky looking even

but for me, they are all fascinating. Flies benefit nature and that's a selling point in their favor, but I still don't want them in my house. I do, however, enjoy watching all critters.

Some flies are actually pretty. Probably goes with the role that particular fly plays in nature. I'll have to look that up.

Thanks!

Hummingbirds are beautiful and vicious. I've seen males rolling on the grass locked in battle. These teeny tiny birds flapping and flipping across my lawn, going round and round fighting for dominance. I was yelling, "Stop that!". They didn't stop until one got enough space to fly away. They can get very territorial over food. I have multiple feeders and lots of natural sources of nectar but that doesn't stop the carnage. I love the little things!
