(last full weekend of August is International Bat Nights)

Bats are friends to humans! Little brown bats (common in Kansas) can eat 1000 mosquitoes per hour. All sorts of flying insect pests get targeted by bats.

Fruit eating bats spread tree seeds when they defecate, helping to reforest the tropics.

Bats see quite well, thank you, better than humans. But they also have mad echolocation skills.

Thank you, batties!

PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.

You are welcome to join us!

Here are few not-too-onerous PWB rules
