We have little brown bats that help eat up the mosquitoes on the farm. 

"Bats can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes an hour."

For some reason this one decided to take a nap on my paper towels.

For some reason this one decided to take a nap in my flight box, for model r/c planes.

@Tinywhisper11  I think these are baby ones.  Seems like the baby ones don't have any hair on their bodies.  As far as I know they never have hair in the wings.  But I'm not an expert.  All I know is they do a really good job eating up bugs, and cause of that we don't need to wear insect repellent on the farm.

@tryingtosurvive2024 bats might be creepy, but that's much better than being over run by insects😬

@Tinywhisper11  I agree!  And these little brown bats don't suck blood.  I got to admit, they are messy in the barn.  And they carry bat bugs.  Bed bugs and Bat bugs are a lot a like.  Fortunately they are easier to deal with because they don't reproduce with human blood, like bed bugs do. All this reminds me of Adam and Eve, choosing to sin, brought a curse into our world.  Nothing in our world is completely good.  Since we on the topic of Bats.  I got some lyrics from a Christian Metal song by Tourniquet called Bats.

Bats, bats, bats


You think they'll hit you, but they won't

You think they nest in your hair, but they don't


Bats, bats, bats


You think that feathers is what they got

You think they are a bird, but they are not

The old adage "blind as a bat", the truth is they can see

But not as good as you and me


Bats, bats, bats


I used to think that God was always serious

And I could walk the fence, I must have been delirious

I wonder if He laughs

I guess that i'm just curious


Bats, bats


(Mexican free tail bats)


The God Jehovah is not feathers, wood, or stone

The Word became flesh and ascended to the throne

He walked the earth like you and me

And dwelling in our hearts is where He wants to be

And dwelling in our hearts is where He wants to be


Bats, bats
