Batty

I fear that, amongst the many wel- and - unwelcome critters that I share my house with, I need to add ......bats.
For days I have found droppings on the floor under one of the chandeliers, and wings and legs and other indigestible parts of grasshoppers.
Now the geckos are too small to tackle these locust looking insects and when one of the mutts catches one of the big, green grasshoppers, it is only to kill it; then they loose interest and leave the whole carcass around.
This is something different. This is not only a kill of the insect, but also a devouring of same, except of course for the wings and such.
And all I can think of is bats since they are nocturnal and carnivorous and they can most likely hang from some part of the chandelier and do their thing.
Welcome to Alan's House of Horrors.

Welcome to the batworld. Perhaps you should change your name to batmann - and let the old cranky car be your batmobile. ;-)
