Karnataka's Rare Bats Consume 4,100 Insect Species

Scientists in India found that a rare bat in Karnataka eats over 4,100 types of insects.

These bats help control pests like mosquitoes that spread diseases and bugs that harm crops.

The bats live in just one cave, and there are fewer than 300 of them left.

The study used a special method to look at what the bats eat by studying their poop.

The bats eat different insects depending on the season.

This shows how important they are for keeping the environment healthy and protecting our food.

The researchers hope this will help people understand why we need to protect these bats.
