If you're someone who flips out over a bug in the house this story may not be for you

This is so cool; A family in Raritan Township shares their home with a small colony of bats. OK, first question answered upfront, NO the bats cannot get inside the home but due to a storm window that won't fully close they do have a family of brown bats hanging out between panes. Instead of freaking out, the family that owns the home decided to let bats be bats and have set up amazing webcams so people like you and Johnny can learn about these very secretive creatures. So much more on this story at the link.

Bats in their belfry

Well, attic anyway. In Green Township a local church, the Tranquility Methodist Church, has an issue. Some 350 big brown bats have begun calling their attic home. People gather around to watch them fly off into the night to feed on insects (including mosquitos) and take pictures and videos. Local groups including Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary and Biologist MacKenzie Hall from the Conserve Wildlife Foundation are trying to find a way to move the current tenants in a non-lethal way. These bats really are too cute AND they perform a great service to local areas that have them keeping the flying bug population down. Click here to watch the report.
