1) I count tags in a single post like this, One, Two, SPAM.  Please don't eve do that.
2) It is unlikely the rattlesnake will find a mate.  That seems relatively harmless.  What say you of the other two?

OK XD. I would say rattle snakes aren't native to this area, therefore they can be invasive, but... how likely is that?
The spider, same thinking.
The flower, its isolated in your garden, so does that count?
I won't do this next time, thanks for feedback

Ummm...  The whole point is about being NOT native, so that's kind of a horrible argument.  :-)

B: Let a single rattlesnake go in the wrong environment, it is likely to live out its life and die with no offspring.

A: Spider in Fruit.  What was it doing there?  If it was preparing an egg sac, we could be invasive.  If it was just hungry, that might not be a problem.  It has to find a mate.  If it brought one, or fertilized eggs, that will do.

C: Can some flowers asexually reproduce?  Look up "Kudzu".
