I noticed on a news briefing that bats are getting sick from White Nose Syndrome. It is some sort of fungal infection that ultimately destroys the little critters from fungal growth on it's face. Bats stabilize the environment like anything else. They keep gnats, mosquitoes and more annoying pests from harming plants and causing bug bites. If a fungal infection is killing the little critters, I would like scientists to watch out for them so that the insect population would diminish.
In the summertime, they swoop down at night eating moths and big mosquitoes and they go back up into the trees. They eat only insects and they aren't a nu sense to anyone or any place. Because they are only minding bug business.White nose syndrome is like any other disease. It needs to be challenged and taken care of like any other little bat problem.
