Yeah, and they eat some unbelievable amount of mosquitoes, too. I can't remember how many per night, but the first time I read the number I thought it was a misprint.

One source credited the adult brown bat with eating about 500 mosquitoes per night.
Child's play compared to the adult purple martin, which can eradicate 2-3,000 of the suckers. [pun intended]
