| I have a bat living on my porch rafter | | He is so sweet looking sleeping there in the day. I don't know why he chose my porch to roost on, but I am happy he is there. I wish I had more of them. I just wonder how he will survive as it gets colder. In the summer time we never are bothered by mosquitoes, so I am glad for the bats. I am not afraid of them at all. I would put on a glove and pick him/her up and pet it.. but I don't want to discourage it from living on my porch.Do you like bats? They are really good for our mosquito problems and maybe even other pesky insects. | |
