Bats May Look Spooky, but They Are Really Not

Our winged friends may be well known in horror movies and Halloween decor (and for that one incident with Ozzy Osbourne IYKYK), but did you know bats are actually pollinators?

USDA.gov says:

Most people associate pollination with bees and birds but often forget the work of their furry colleagues: bats. Bats take the night shift, playing a major role in pollinating crops and spreading seeds.

So these guys may have a spooky look, but they're really important for our environment.
