More than 40 species of bats have been reported using bat houses. The most common species is the Little Brown Bat. Like its name suggests, this creature is small, and tan to dark brown in color. Primarily nocturnal, bats are the #1 predator of insects. Their diet is varied but usually includes moths, beetles, gnats, crickets and mosquitoes. One bat can consume 600-1000 mosquitoes in an hour eating their own body weight in insects nightly!
