Or in a recent case flying around my bedroom... Mr. Batty happened to be found by my (then) five year old daughter, who went in there to watch TV... You may have actually heard her scream all the way over in Oklahoma... The best part is, she freaked out because she thought it was a moth(apparently our moths grow real large)... she had no problem with the little guy when she found out he was a bat... just as long as it was not a moth.

Bats- Okay... Moths- not okay.   Giant Bloodthirsty Space Moths- Really,really,really NOT okay.

I love bats and my daughters are big fans of them, since the ones around here love to eat mosquitos... and the mosquitos love to eat my daughters.

Anyway... Thanks for caring for bats (I mean that, they are very important and way too often feared and mistreated)... I don't know if you need a Bat Box, but I posted one today... The bats should have a proper home... no, roachy digs...

The model is based on a real one (actually 3 or 4) I made a few years back... I never had any bats inhabit them, only wasps and earwigs. I used to say the Bats were too picky, but it may just be where I hung them... around here they seem to prefer living near some of the swampier marshlands... blocks away, but probably much more buggy. At least thats what I hope is the reason... I fear many of the bats around here may have succumb to that white nose syndrome (fungus?).  I still see them around though... hopefully they will get some protection by NYS before it is too late.

You can find the model at my ShareCG Gallery (click the banner) or copy paste this:

Good Luck!

 

PS- Mr Batty (I didn't actually name him that) was gently captured in a large butterfly net and released unharmed.
