Step Father and I are working on some Bat boxes to lure in the bats for mosquito control. I Absolutely Love pest and recycle control critters. Possum bros, Dillo bros, Spider bros, lizards, frogs..but the frogs could do a better job of stfu..so loud at night
Yeah, the house I grew up in had so many frogs that you couldn't watch TV or make a phone call at night, it was like having the worst tinnitus every night. Frogs are cute, but that was too much!

Much better.
I wish I could touch them, they look so velvety soft.
We can't stop here! This is bat country.
But the bats are adorable!
Teefs!
The tiniest of fangs!
How are they so docile, though? I'm not familiar with the course of action for sedating wild bats and it would be hard to believe you could just reach up and grab one
Maybe they're babies?
sleepy .
Sky pups.
Is it not risky to pick them up due to the possibility of zoonotic disease?
I'm sure that would never happen.
Look like little Jim Henson monsters.
Pug Bats!
