🦇 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹: 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘁 🍂

👻 It's spooky season, so we couldn't pass up the chance to talk about bats! However, the little brown bat isn't spooky at all. In fact, one little brown bat can eat up to 1,000 insects in just one hour! I guess that's spooky if you're a mosquito! Their nighttime buffet depends on clean water, so let's all do our part to help them stay fat and happy! 💧
