Its wings are thin and have black skin stretching from the sides of the body and short back legs, along the forearm and over the fingers. The thumb sticks out of the front edge of the wing and has a claw at its tip. It has five toes like claws on each back leg. It has needlelike teeth. Bats help us by eating insects.
Bats are nocturnal so they eat at night.
They eat insects like mayflies, beetles, moths, and mosquitoes. One bat may eat 33,000 mosquitoes in one summer. Bats eat thousands of mosquito- sized prey each night. The Bat Conservation International found Little Brown Bats in a room full of mosquitoes caught up to 600 in only 1 hour. Bats can find their food and way around by using echoloction.
