Geocache Description:


GOING BATTY #66

 

Welcome to my new Bat caches.  When I lived in Missouri during the summer of 2003, I worked at Ozark Caverns within Lake of The Ozarks State Park. Ozark Caverns has remained mostly natural as there is no lighting installed in the caves, which makes it a great habitat for bats.  I learned quite a bit about bats and wanted to create a few bat puzzle caches: the "Bump In The Night" for Snag The Tag is the perfect time to do it too.  

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

Bat Fact #66

 

Some bats eat fruit, others sip nectar and still others hunt insects and bugs. Their wide range of foods makes bats important for the balance of ecosystems around the world, as well as human agriculture. A 2011 study estimated that bats provide anywhere from $3.7 billion to $53 billion worth of pest-control by eating bugs, and over 300 species of plants depend on fruit-eating bats to spread their seeds and fertilize soil through droppings.

 

An even larger number of plants — more than 500 species — depend on nectar-feeding bats to pollinate their flowers. Many of these plants evolved to attract bats by producing white flowers that bloom at night and smell like fermenting fruit. This includes crops that humans cultivate commercially, such as the agave used to make tequila. Cheers to that.
