Overview
About the event
International Bat Night was established to help promote the good image of bats, and to help start creating some clarity on the facts about them above and beyond the rumors and Hollywood image.
While we often think of bats as nocturnal predators feasting on the blood of the innocent and harboring rabies, the truth is quite different. Yes, there are bats that feed on blood, but they mostly feed on insects and believe us, you want bats to be out there patrolling the night and helping eliminate them.
Bats are one of the major contributors to keeping down obnoxious night insects like mosquitoes, and if you�??re a camper, you know how unpleasant mosquitoes can make an otherwise pleasant camping expedition.
There are also bats that feed on nectar and fruit, and actually help to pollinate and spread the seed of plants, in many cases they�??re the only ones working to help those plants procreate!
