    Importance of Bats...

    Courtesy of the Saggy Information Bureau...

    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 nightly, and 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 essential to the regeneration of forests.


    Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre
    and astonishing creatures.

    Here are three from the Bat Family

    Sucker-footed Bat



    Red-Winged Fruit Bat



    Left-Winged Ding Bat



    This proves that 2 out of 3 Bats have a useful purpose!

    If we could just train her to eat mosquitoes...or anything useful !

    Nope that last one would not be teachable, dingbats have a short circuit around anything useful.
