Beneficial Wildlife

I was out gathering some tomatoes when I discovered this little guy. He was just watching me and staying real still trying not to be discovered. Some other helpful insects and animals are bats, bees (pollination), centipedes (eat soil pests), chickens (eat insects and slugs and fertilize soil), birds (depends on crop), ground beetles (eats cutworms, slugs, snails), ladybugs (eats aphids, mealybug and scale), frogs and spiders to name a few. Ants are considered beneficial as well, but I don't like them when they try moving in the house and eat my cupcakes.
