Here is how the project went:
great! planted native habitat for bats, learned and taught others about the importance of bats and how they're not scary and should be protected.
Through this project I/we learned:
That bats are night pollinators. that they eat 1000 insects in an hour. That they eat mosquitos. That light pollution hurts them and we can all help by turning off our outside lights. especially at dusk when they are most active hunting. That they eat moths and moths pollinate light colored flowers so plant light colored night blooming flowers helps bats. That native plants attract more insects. That bats aren't trying to fly in your hair, that that myth comes from them flying straight down from a tree to hunt. 1 in 3 bats in CA are endangered.
What I/we might change:
might take more time to figure out the bat house.
My/our favorite part of this project was:
learning so much about bats. Do the myth buster realizing how important is to dispel these myths in order to help bats conservation.
Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:
lots of fun facts above. Tricks-- learn about how to build bat houses from labatrescue and /or bat conservation international before attemping one. Write them and request an instruction packet that has the do's and don'ts so you don't hurt bats by building one that overheats.
