Happy Halloween Toni~

Yes you're right bats and Halloween go hand in hand.  I didn't realize bat's are disappearing!  I'll have to check the link you provided.  I hope you have a spooktacular day in all you do!

Best regards from the Q

Hi Toni, I wonder if the mosquito control trucks have anything to do with the bats disappearing?  I know it is a major killer of the dragon flys.  I wish Mother Nature would be allowed to do her job.  thanks for the great info and awareness.

Toni, you have provided lots of information on bats.     Can't say I have ever seen a live one, and that is ok with me!   Happy Halloween!

Perfect post for Halloween Toni. I love it. One of my favorite exhibits at the Oregon Zoo is the bat cave. They really are fascinating little creatures.

They found a brand new bat species in Thailand very recently.  These guys do get a bad rao because of that one bat that drinks human blood.  But majority are harmless.  Today is their day and let's celebrate and protect their lives!

Hey Toni,  You did lots of research about bats.  Lots of great bat facts.

Toni - Thanks for reminding me about those Scarry Bats.  Right here in Michigan - Children and Adults love to visit

The Bat Zone!  The Bat Zone teaches visitors about what bats eat and their behavior and myths.  They have 150 bats to see.  The fruit bats have wingspans anywhere from 4-6 feet.   

John - thanks, I hope you do too. Loved your Pumpkin post.

Jeanne - I wondered that about a lot of creatures. Some of our birds are disappearing too.

Joan - they are so tiny that you and I probably terrify them.

Debb - I love to visit the bat exhibits; they are fascinating.

Jennifer - I would imagine that there are lots of species that haven't been named yet. All my research said that none actually drink human blood only cattle and small critters. But, maybe I didn't go far enough.

Belinda- thanks; bat facts it is.

Kathy - thanks for the additional link to info. I would love to see that too.

Toni,

Thank you for bringing the plight of bats to our attention.  I did not know they were disappearing and any creatures that eats mosquitoes should be celebrated.  After our last trip to Florida on the 4th of July, I came home with mosquito welts,,,I could have used a bat guard that time.  Will look in to that sight.  Thanks and Happy Halloween.  A

Perfect timing for a bat post Toni.  Very informative and the little guy in the photo looks so cute.

Bats are a great topic for today!!  Hopefully I wont be getting to close to one tonight : )

Toni

Thanks for sharing the information regarding bats.

Good luck and success.

We have a large bat cave not very far from home, you can see them when they come out each evening. They are very important and not scary like some folks would leave you to believe.

Toni, What a creative way to learn about bats, and on such an appropriate day ~ wishing you a happy halloween!

Toni, we had bats on our patio which is located underneath our deck ... saw them once, but not lately.  Good information and appropriate for today!!

Toni - Last winter I pulled up to my house after being away for a few days. Right in front of the garage, under the overhang was a "black thing".  Really didn't know what it was until I got up close....OMG!!!!!!  I saw it's wing span, and the head was upside down! It was a Sunday afternoon and I called Animal Control. They were closed and the call was put through to our local police department. I told the officer who answered what I had found. He asked where I live...after all I live in a developed community in a very built up area. He had never received a call about a bat before. His advice (and he was really very nice to take the time to talk to me about a bat!) ...and this is a true story....the bat was probably flying with his friends when it started to get light and he got tired. He landed on my house and that is why he was there. He said when it got dark, he would probably leave to find his friends.....absolutely true! I checked when it was dusk and he was gone...probably went to look for his friends :-) 

Toni ......Thanks for the info ....I really didn't know that much about them till reading your post!  Nice job!

Have a Great Day!
Go Vols!

Alexandra - We should have a special place to give thanks to bats for eating all those mosquitoes; and we still have too many (mosquitoes not bats).

Anita - they are kind of cute!

Amy - I hope not.

Lou - thanks

C&C - you are lucky to be able to see them that way. I was at Carlsbad in New Mexico and saw them.

L&S - thanks. It was a good day to post it.

Rebecca - they probably found another place to hang :) I like your new profile picture.

Stefanie - what a great experience. Thanks for sharing that with me. Glad it turned out well for both you and the bat.

Rob - glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

Toni, I wrote a post a while back about a woman in England who was evicted from her home by the authorities because her home had become a bat roost in January of this year.  They told her she might be able to return this month.  The bats were protected and although she had just purchased the home, she couldn't live in it nor remove the bats!

Well, that's plain batty. Tough all around.

Toni, Thought you might enjoy my bat post...
