....if you can get past the creepiness factor. I sat on the patio after sunset yesterday and watched the amazing little aerial killing machines go to work on the moths that were heading toward our bug zapper light. Several of the bats were swooping around me, sometimes passing a foot or two from my head
DW thinks I'm She won't even come out the back door if one of the little furballs is airborne. I was fascinated by their maneuverability as they chased their prey. The moths had a grim choice: enter the light and be char-broiled by the electrical grids or remain airborne and end up in the jaws of a hungry bat.
A bat got in our house last summer and swooped around the livingroom while DW was watching TV. I had gone to bed early, but she put an end to my sleep as she described the devilish creature with the 3 foot wingspan that terrorized her. By the time I got up, the bat had disappeared. I found it the next day in the basement and killed it. As I carried the tiny creature's body outside, I showed it to her. She said "It looked a lot bigger flying over my head last night".
