Bats

People are often scared of bats, but bats are beneficial. Mary Schmidt from Lichterman Nature Center talks about bats and dispels some myths. She also talks about how they eat tons of bugs, pollinate plants, and spread seeds. In the United States, most bats are small, but can eat thousands of bugs in a night. This reduces harmful insects and reduces the amount of insecticides farmers and gardeners need to use.
