#BatWeek2024
The Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus) is found across Alberta, munching on a variety of insects—especially beetles! With a strong bite perfect for big bugs, they’re a key player in pest control and happily use bat houses. Truly a #FarmersFriend! 🦇🌾 #AlbertaBats #Bats #BatsNeedFriends🧪🦇🌎
