An Introduction to Bats In-Person
Etowah Library
Bats are amazingly diverse, and incredibly important to a healthy ecosystem. One average sized bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in ONE HOUR and save farmers all over the world millions of dollars in pest control. Yet so many people have a negative opinion of this gentle animal. With the help of her friend and world-famous bat biologist Merlin Tuttle's photos, Sharon Mammoser will introduce you to the fascinating world of bats. You'll learn about bats that hunt insects, bats that pollinate flowers, and bats that live in colonies numbering in the millions. In addition, you'll learn why you would want to welcome them into your yards and how to go about that.
