Join us for a talk about one of our favorite creatures of the night! Despite their common presence in scary movies and Halloween decor, most bats in the United States eat insects, and none of them suck blood! We'll discuss how they use those adorable big ears, and perfectly pitched voices, to protect us and our food from insect pests.
