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 nightlyand 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 that's essential to the regeneration of forests.
 
Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures. 

Here are three from the Bat Family

So 2 out of 3 Bats have a useful purpose!  If we could just train her to eat mosquitoes or do something useful besides spreading fertilizer which doesn't replenish the forests or anything else!!! Too bad we can't add a picture of the other looney toon, Maxine Waters.
