In Louisiana we are well acquainted with these little guys.

We saw some nasty snakes at Fort Polk, LA.
We moved here from North Dakota when I was a kid.
Didn’t realize there were so many nasty creepy crawlies in the South. Moccasins, copperheads, fire ants, etc. all living within close proximity.
The snakes just leave you alone. No threat unless you step on them. But, the fire ants, geez. They don’t need an excuse to go medieval on your ankles.
