Turns out, bats are doing more for New Jersey than we thought—they’re actually eating those destructive spotted lanternflies! Rutgers researchers found proof in bat guano, which means our local bats are quietly helping protect crops and gardens.

Not only does it help bats, but it also supports the fight against invasive pests. Would you consider adding a bat house to your property? Let’s talk about how we can work with nature to keep our communities healthy. #Science #NewJersey #Bats
