Bat Research in California
Bats reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Bats normally eat about half their weight in flying insects each night. Most species of North American bats feed on flying insects, including mosquitoes. A single little brown bat can eat as many as 600 small insects in an hour. Some of the largest colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats consume more than 100 tons of insects during spring and summer nights.
