International Bat Appreciation Day
April 17 2026
Each year on April 17th, International Bat Appreciation Day reminds us of the roles bats play in our daily lives.
April is also the best time of the year to observe bats, as they are now beginning to emerge from hibernation.
The observance is an excellent time to learn about the role bats play in nature.
Since bats are considered “insectivorous” creatures, they rid our world of many annoying insects.
In one hour, a bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes.
