Arlo: Janis, that snake is harmless! Beneficial, even! Why should we kill it? Janis: My father said, "The only good snake is a dead snake!" Arlo: Ah! Shall I remind you of some things your father said? Janis: No! Arlo: Like, "The only good Arlo..." Janis: He came around!
Snakes are good and have their place in the eco-order. Even the mosquito, nasty to humans, is a food source for many songbirds and other creatures, as well as possibly a source for a future albeit less terrifying “Jurassic Park”. Cockroaches and silverfish, on the other hand, are just icky nasty. I know of no other animal that relishes or catsups them on their menu, and they will continue to see the bottom of my shoe as their last glimpse on earth.
