New Episode from Naturally Florida, “It’s Spooky Season, Let’s Chat About Bats

Mummies, Ghosts, and Goblins – oh my! This spooky season, we’re chatting about bats in Florida!

Thirteen species of Florida bats live here year-round and several more migrate in from the North or South at certain times of year. These amazing flying mammals, the only mammal with true flight, provide highly valuable pest management services for Floridians.

So, while you may see some spooky vampire bats this month on TV or in the movies, remember – our local bats eat insects … they don’t suck blood!
