Yes, in the real world bats are mosquito vacuums. So stop going “Eek!” and appreciate them, people, they are not blood suckers, they eat the blood suckers.
The building which houses our church was built in the 1800s and sports a healthy population of bats. Every once in a while, one joins us for the church services–freaking out the bat phobics among us! White nose syndrome is very serious and spreading. :-(
Johanan bats live under bridges and other dark undisturbed places during the day and at dusk head out in hoards to hunt bugs.
And these are some purdy bats!

Maybe you’ve never been buzzed by one as it’s showing off how good its sonar is.
But strange to tell, we have them even in Houston (death to the local mosquitos!). Where do they live during the day?

Those bats must of been extra hungry.

I think the Wiz is getting a little batty in his old age.
Dkram over 13 years ago
Never thought of the Wiz as being evil. May be he likes to be mischievous once in a while.
Our bats are in trubble, something called white nose syndrome is killing them off.

I wish we had more bats, but I’m glad there aren’t any living in the attic any more! They had a tendency to come downstairs for a visit now and then…

Wonder if that’s where Ding-Bats come from?

freeholder1 over 13 years ago
What, dk, terrorizing is “evil’? Heck, we ELECT people to terrorize us around here.

Usually the Law of Unintended Consequences is a bad thing.
(There is a species of bat that has lost the ability to fly. Nature is weird.)

Bats do not seem sanitary;

The bats all left Battyslavia when the skleeters ran out years ago…. We welome them here in Florida where our state bird is the mosquito.
