Bees, as mentioned last week, can see ultraviolet light and these markings help guide the bee to the nectar. Several species of orchids mimic the appearance and scent of female bees and wasps and are pollinated when the male attempts to mate with the flower. Another flying animal is responsible for pollination and seed dispersal in the tropics. A few bats feed on fish, animal blood or other bats. Most bats, however, feed on nectar and pollen, insects, or fruit.
Bats are nocturnal, have a keen sense of smell and most have poor eyesight.
They are attracted to flowers which give off a musty or sour scent. The flowers generally open only at night and are pale in color. The flowers are strongly constructed to support the claws and weight of the bat. Our God is an awesome God. He has designed a very complicated and balanced world.
