I felt bad because I think my brother broke one of it's wings, but we couldn't just leave it there in case a small child or animal got to it. I was thinking it might have rabies.

I turned the hose on it to wash it off too, and BLEAAAAHH! THREE BATS flew out! Why they were hanging there in broad daylight (just like your bat was) I have no idea. But after their bath, they have not come back. And now I'm sorry, because we have mosquitoes. I'm now considering building a bat house to put up there!

Nevertheless, bat are COOL! Plus, they eat bugs, as in mosquitoes! I welcome bats to my home (not inside, though). During my time working in wildlife rehab, I have had opportunities to work with bats. They are a fascinating species. Fight your "batophobia" by learning about bats. I used to have phobias with all kinds of bugs, animals, and reptiles. Since becoming more acquainted with different types of creatures that inhabit the earth with us humans, I have let go of those phobias. The only exception is spiders. As long as they leave me alone, then I leave them alone. Unless they are brown recluses or black widows.<br /><br />Linda D<br />Tucson, AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-51988176126557399602016-08-29T09:36:43.279-06:002016-08-29T09:36:43.279-06:00Woohoo!!

Mr. Google said that bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera, hence chiroptophobia. I love bats, love to watch them, love that they eat bugs. In Austin, TX the Congress Avenue bridge has a bat colony living under it - as many an 1.5 million bats. We used to go watch them spiral up from there in the evening to go on their bug hunt. We could leave our doors open in the evening in San Antonio with no screen door and have no bugs. I never had a mosquito bite in the 9 years we lived there. There are so many bats that they show up on the weather radar. We also made a trip to Carlsbad Caverns many years ago and went back in the evening to watch its bats fly out. At least you have just one bat. :) It could be a lot worse!Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309987428045299558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-52675767260070865542016-08-29T08:36:17.138-06:002016-08-29T08:36:17.138-06:00Given that rattlesnakes, coyotes, tarantulas do no...Given that rattlesnakes, coyotes, tarantulas do not scare you, one must deduce that your fear of bats is not irrational.
