🌲 “There are about 13 bat species that live in the coast redwood forests of California—redwood trees make excellent bat homes. Old redwood trees are especially valuable as bat homes, as their ‘basal hollows’ serve as ‘caves’ for some bat species."

THANK YOU, BATS! A recent study found that bats are helping fight back against the invasive spotted lanternfly—just by doing what they do best: eating bugs! 🪰
Researchers studying bats in the eastern U.S. found DNA of lanternflies in eastern red bat and big brown bat guano. 💩🔬
