Sadly along with your list you can also add rats who like wolves and crows are given bad press, which I think partly down to how clever they are.

It made me more aware of many earth and environmental issues. Spiders can be dangerous, but they are our friends- much-maligned creatures as are some of my other favorite and much-slandered critters - e.g. wolves, crows, bats. I look forward to reading "Anansi The Trickster Spider." Congratulations and good luck with it. <br /><br />Umberto Tosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939504157464234443noreply@blogger.com
