Mosquito Control

Your Biology lesson for today! 
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 specimens from the Bat Family. 
  

Sucker-footed Bat 

 

 


Red-Winged Fruit Bat 

 


Left-Winged Ding Bat

So 2 out of these 3 Bats have a useful purpose!

Maybe if we could just train the last one to eat mosquitoes

I've seen hummingbirds eat mosquitos too. Right now the bats are dying partly because of monsanto's roundup all over everything, and they have some kind of white nose disease. The evil corporations on this planet are killing the animals, birds, fish, wildlife, and humans with their toxic, dirty chemical concoctions and chemtrails.
