We will talk about how to create a bat-friendly garden by minimizing threats and planting native plants and night-blooming flowers. Bats are important pollinators for many plants. However, unlike fuzzy bees, colorful butterflies, and other daytime pollinators, bats show up at night and don’t get a lot of credit for their hard work. Did you know: • One bat can eat up to 1,000 insects per hour, making them vital for pest control. • Not only do bats consume mosquitos, but they also eat Japanese beetles, cutworms and army worm moths, and cucumber beetle moths.
