October is #BatAppreciationMonth!
Some of you might be thinking, why should we appreciate bats? Well, here are a few very good reasons that bats should be appreciated this month, and every month!
🦇 In Nebraska we have 13 species of bats, all of which are insectivores. Some bats can eat up to 600 insects each hour!
🦇 Bats eat their own body weight in insects every night, saving farmers billions of dollars in pesticides and crop loss.
🦇 Studying bats has led to advancements in flight and sonar capabilities.
🦇 Bat research has led to medical discoveries in vaccines and medications that have benefited human health.
