The Bat - A creature of the Night

Halloween cannot be celebrated without the Halloween Bat. They are a part of most Vampire movies. Dracula can turn into one so he can fly into peoples rooms. They are often flying around grave yards. And You will often see them hanging around a witch. We make the bat a part of our Halloween Decorations because they seem to make everything so much creepier.

But did you know that Bats are actually good for humans? Read on to learn some of the Bat Myths and Facts. You never know, you may decide that you actually like the little flying creatures.

I think bats are awesome because

Conservatories_TV says:

they keep flying insects out of my garden. Definately a celebrated part of Halloween though

windygig says:

Love them. Had them in the dome of a building where I worked. Bats would occasionally interrupt proceedings...Also I have a bat house to keep the mosquito population down.

TylaMac says:

I like them. We live by the water so we see lots of brown bats at dusk munching on mosquitoes.

missbat says:

I love bats! Not only do they keep the insect population controlled, they're adorable looking. And I'm not biased or anything. ;)

VickiSims says:

Bats are fascinating and it is fun to try to watch for the first one in the evening when they come out at dusk. I appreciate them for all of the bugs they eat!

I can't stand bats because

WindyWinters says:

They are important in nature but I think they are creepy. I'm just a big chicken!

sandyspider says:

I don't mind them and I would add this to the awesome part. But when a friend of our was showing us his new house and we were in the basement, a bat came flying around. He quickly ran up the stair and shut the door on us. The bat touched down briefly on my head before we were able to get out.

bdkz says:

Not a big fan, they are just creepy to me.

    A great lens! I'm not a fan of bats, but I think that's because of their bad reputation in movies.
