On the last weekend of August each year, the bat is celebrated. This winged, nocturnal mammal flies through the night typically feeding on insects, although some bat varieties will eat different types of food. Although bats have long been thought of as something to fear, they actually are remarkable animals that do quite a lot of good in the environment.They keep the vast numbers of night-flying insects in check, pollinate flowers, and carry seeds for critically important plants. Bats also safeguard our health by reducing demands for toxic pesticides.
Bats are good to keep around yards as they are voracious insect-eaters. Publish a listing of busted myths about bats so that those in the community, with the help of supporting advertisers, can get the facts about bats rather than fear them.
