Bats are actually harmless creatures that are important parts of our environment.
Bats are the only flying mammal and have well-furred bodies with naked, transparent wings.
Their wings are a membrane spread across elongated arm bones and fingers. On average, bats fly at a speed of 20 wing beats per second. Upon leaving their roost, bat fly to a stream, pond, or lake where they dip their lower jaw into the water while still in flight and take a drink. After drinking bats forage for insects. All Florida bats are insectivorous and feed on mosquitoes, flies, leafhoppers, beetles and many other insects.
