April - The Month of Romance for Bats
The warmth of spring encourages bugs to come out in droves, setting up a luxurious buffet for bats who, incidentally… or perhaps strategically, also emerge at this time. Additionally, the warmth of the spring is conducive to amorous bat activities. Bats usually mate in April, which means even higher levels of bat activity in your vicinity. If you’re contemplating using this timing to calculate when bat offspring will arrive, think again. After mating is complete, female bats store sperm inside their bodies and then use them to impregnate themselves later. They can do this up to five months after mating!
