If you're at the WRONG end of the food chain (ie things eat you) then you are VERY useful to the rest of the foodchain!
Eg - I sit inside in the Highlands watching the swallows (and bats and goldfinches and siskins and and and etc) swooping around and scoffing midges by the bucketload. Then every now and then a sparrowhawk or a buzzard or an owl comes along and scoffes one of the finches (or whatever), which is nice and plump because of the midges.
