I used to hear bad stories about bats getting tangled in your hair when I was young. My grandmother caught one in a jar and my cousin took it to school for show and tell. On the news they are telling the story of this lady who lives in more afluent part of town who found she bats in her roof. She called an exterminator and couldn't afford it. It was like $525 for them to come out. She waited and they didn't go so had the exterminator come out. Finally she is rid of the bats. They said that June is when the bats have their babies. I have never had a problem with them. When I was a young teen I went with friends to church on Wednesday evenings. We all would take a break half way through and would all go outside. It would be just about dusk and we could see a huge group of bats go from the roof of the church over across the street to another building. Weird thing is that there was one white one. I think they are rather cool creatures. How about you?

Bats are not very common in New Zealand. I've never seen one.

They aren't anything to look forward to seeing either. Sort of creepy little fellows.

@celticeagle I've seen bats during my childhood days but I don't see a live bat for quite a long time since then.
