I like bats.
Only a few more months tol I can take my bat detector out and listen to their pliplops as they munch on some moths.
They are diverse and also silly.
I love them.

be somewhere there are bugs, as soon as the sun goes down the flying rodents come out, you can tell when they fly by cause it sounds like plaps of fat cheeks moreso the slap of skin against the winds with mousey squeeks from above, later might stumble upon a particularly "windy" tree and you will hear those squeaking rat bastards jerking it in the branches! YOU FIENDS

I love bats. I recently found out that a close cave near me is a home to several bat species,also the forests surrounding it are protected territory with more few tree bat species. Not only this but there are some bats that live in one of the roofs in the neighborhood houses and fly over my yard every night. Also one question from where you get your bat detector and how much it costs?

I have one of these.
It doesn't record, but you point it at bats and set the frequency and it'll play/translate their squeaks for you. You alter the frequency and you can tell what kind of bat they are because all bats have different hz ranges.

No.
They scared me at first because I dislike erratic flying movement in animals like wasps (you literally cannot tell which direction they're about to go).
But bats, carnivorous ones at least given they're the only ones I see, while they have what look like kinda erratic flight patterns, are really just flying like that because they're munching bugs (They often eat 3,000 bugs in a night).
They literally do not give a shit about humans and will either ignore or barely even see you because they don't interact with humans much.
If you find one in your bedroom when you wake up, it's possible it bit you while you were sleeping, that's the only concern, and that's incredibly unlikely.
I stand around bats with >>5100378 fairly often, and there are batwalks for going around with people to look at bats.
Google "[Your city] batwalks" and see if there are any or if you can request a free one to be set up.

I like them too, OP. they're real bros, going after bugs and such
I'm worried about the local bat population in my home city; there's a plague of monk parakeets going on and they're known to attack bats. Fucking retarded dwarf parrots; I wish they went extinct

As a bug enjoyer I find it interesting and sick that bats have their version of bedbugs called bat bugs which are very closely related to bedbugs. If you have a bat infestation, it is possible to have bat bugs also, which may bite humans if they dont have their typical bat hosts to bite. Awesomely gross :D
