Which British creepy-crawly deserves a grudging round of applause?
They scuttle, they spin, they occasionally end up in the bath at 3am. But Britain's mini-beasts do a lot more good than we give them credit for, so which one earns your respect?
Put the items in your preferred order.
1
The House Spider
Yes, it sprints across the carpet at full pelt during 'spider season', but it also keeps your home blissfully fly-free. A misunderstood flatmate who pays rent in pest control.
2
The Earthworm
Darwin literally wrote a book about how brilliant they are. Without these wriggly soil engineers, your garden would be a sad, compacted patch of nothing.
3
The Bumblebee
Bumbling about your lavender like a tipsy uncle at a wedding, yet single-handedly keeping British agriculture afloat. Frankly, they should be on the tenner.
4
The Woodlouse
Fourteen legs, an exoskeleton, and a job recycling rotting wood into lovely soil. Also has approximately 47 regional nicknames, which is very British of it.
5
The Ladybird
Genuinely the only insect your nan will allow indoors. A ruthless aphid assassin in a cute spotty coat, basically a tiny garden vigilante.
