Importance of Bats
The newsletter from, "The Texas Gardener Seeds" said:
Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals.
Bats consume 3,000 or
more mosquitoes and other insects nightly,
and bats are less
likely to be rabid
than dogs are.
Need another reason?
Bats are responsible for up to
95 percent of the seed dispersal
essential to the regeneration of forests.
Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre
and astonishing creatures.
Here are three from the Bat Family

a useful purpose!
