BATS WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT POLLINATING PLANTS-USDA
Bats are important to pollinating crops and spreading seeds. They are especially important to plants whose flowers open only at night such as figs and peaches. In our gardens night blooming cereus flower are often very fragrant. The saguaro cactus, the state flower of Arizona is one, and the evening primrose is another. They eat lots of mosquitoes, too! Many bat colonies are struggling to survive with the spread of white nose syndrome, caused by a fungus. If we take care of our gardens without synthetic pesticides and herbicides, we help protect bats.
