Flight puppies are an adorable nickname for bats. These cute creatures with a bad reputation are the silent helpers no one recognizes. “The 28 species of bats that make their colonies in Arizona all belong to the Microchiroptera sub-order. Most are insectivores with their colonies consuming thousands of flying insects each and every night,” (Buscher, 2019). Bats are portrayed to be vicious and blood-sucking demons. However, “A variety of small brown bat species are the most common bats found in Arizona and play a crucial role in managing the flying nighttime insect populations. Entomologists estimate that a large colony of bats can eat a million pounds (453,592.37 kg) of insects nightly,” (Buscher, 2019). Bats not only help with the pesky bugs they also help pollinate our flowers. Some bats do not eat bugs but instead fruit. “ the long-nosed bat covered with the pollen of saguaro flowers, bats are vital pollinators of the cacti and agave flowers of the desert assuring another summer of successful seed production” (Buscher, 2019). Bats are an interesting, cute and useful creature that deserves more love from the public.
