"Humans need bats.
Worldwide, there are more than 1,400 species of bats—that’s almost 20 percent of all mammal species.
Bats live almost everywhere on Earth except the most extreme desert and polar regions.
So, no matter where you live, it is almost certain that there are bats living near you.
Bats are amazing animals that are vital to the health of our environment and economy.
Although we may not always see them, bats are hard at work all around the world each night.
Most bats in North America eat insects, including moths, beetles, aquatic insects, and flies.
A single bat can eat up to its body weight in insects each night.
Eating all these insects helps protect our food crops and forests from insect pests, saving farmers and forest managers billions of dollars each year."
