lifespan

Little brown bats have a lifespan of 35 years, which is longer than any other Wisconsin mammal. Except humans, I guess.

That's a lot of years to eat insects.

I intend to put up bat houses at the new house.

Not so long ago, 35 years was the lifespan of a human.

And bats even hibernate for more than a quarter of their live.

I don't get out so much in the winter. Does that count?

I admire the idea of a bat house and I know they're helpful. I just can't stand the idea of having any, ANY bat close to me. I'm phobic.

What if it's sleeping in its house, some distance away from you?
