My friend and I were so disappointed when we went to Austin for SXSW and the bats had not yet come back to the Bat Bridge.

It's funny I used to be terrified of bat's! they scared the heck out of me. But I realize they are not what i thought. I think I saw to many horror flicks growing up.
I just hope they find out what is wrong with these little guys. But sometimes mother nature does do these things on purpose. to balance things out, I undestand that. And maybe that is it. I mean last year they were freaking out over the bee population dropping and now I don't hear a single word about it?
We usually have a couple bats come out at dusk. I hope they don't disappear this year because I have a feeling we are going to have a swarm of mosquitoes of biblical proportions because of the all the flooding. :eek:
Oh, they're here. We've seen them flitting about in the evenings. Maybe I'd better try some peanut butter coated moths and some mosquito mints on their pillows.Quote:

Or maybe that's the problem?
This makes me so sad! I love bats! (I even have one tattooed on my left shoulder.) I read somewhere that bats can eat up to a pound of insects a night. Makes me wish I had my own house so I could have a bat house.
My condo association has just made a donation to an organization that installs free bat houses - my condos are a designated "natural habitat".
I'm looking out my window right now watching them flying around...eating mosquitos!:D:D
I see 15 right now!
They look happy!
That is so cool Mr Silver! I wish I was there watching it with you!
