Yep, these furry flyers aren't just for Halloween. In fact #Spring is the perfect time to see bats emerging from hibernation

Out today on #BatAppreciationDay!🦇

The Vulnerable Ryukyu #FlyingFox is threatened by habitat degradation, predation by dogs & cats, culling & entanglement in orchard nets. They are often perceived as pests that damage crops such as tankan oranges (🧵1/3) https://t.co/soMAGio3bK

[Oryx @OryxTheJournal]

Their findings indicate that the large-billed crow causes more crop damage, that bat-farmer conflicts could seriously threaten the Ryukyu #FlyingFox & that more bat-friendly crop protections could aid #conservation efforts🦇

Genuinely want to RT everyone celebrating #batappreciationday today. But last time, it landed me in Twitter jail. So need to go slower this time. Thank you everyone!

[WCS Canada Bat Program 💚 @wcscanadabats]

Bats silently support economies around the world. Eating insect pests of both agriculture & forestry, pollinating food plants (like those used in tequila production!) & dispersing seeds in tropical systems. Thank bats AROUND THE WORLD for the work they do. #BatAppreciationDay

[Alberta Bats @albertabats]

Silver-haired Bats are amazing! With their beautiful silver high-lights & little doggy faces, we are just lucky to share the planet with them! Bonus is that they also eat tons of moths which helps out both agriculture & forestry! #ThanksBats! #BatAppreciationDay #BatsNeedFriends

[Alberta Bats @albertabats]

We love to count bats! There is a bit of thrill watching bats drop & fly as they leave their bat house just after sunset. Count bats & submit data to our citizen science project! This info will be vital to monitor bat populations across Alberta. #BatAppreciationDay #AlbertaBats

🦇🖤🦇🖤 #BatAppreciationDay is a week away! Join us for a live stream of the bat stream as TENS OF MILLION OF BATS bat-nado their way into the twilight sky.

BATS ARE BEAUTIFUL! Because they hide away & fly in the dark, we don't see them enough. But many species are stunningly beautiful. Bats are amazingly diverse. 1,462 species on the planet. #AppreciateBats #BatAppreciationDay #Bats

[Sahir Doshi @SahirDoshi]

Two groups I'm struggling to find and photograph for 365Species: freshwater fish, and microbats.

20% of our mammal kin are bats. Flying foxes are the objective best, but we need some more.

Share bat pics if you have them!

Did you know #bats aren't the only animals with the ability to #echolocate. #Cetaceans, #swiftlets, #shrews, and even #sharks all use forms of #echolocation. Join us on @batappreciation day for an 'Introduction to Echolocation'
