Big brown bats take to the skies to feast on the bugs you hate
A big brown bat flies from its roost in north Clark County to go eat night-flying insects, including mosquitoes, on Tuesday, June 10. Bats in Washington State play a crucial role in the ecosystem as they’re efficient insectivores. Still, their habitat is constantly decreasing due to the white noise that cities and heavily trafficked rural roadways bring.
