What kind of foods bats eat?

The food that bats eat depends on the species. There are two main groups of bats:

* Frugivorous bats: These bats eat fruits, nectar, and pollen. They have long tongues that they use to suck the juices from fruits.

* Insectivorous bats: These bats eat insects, such as beetles, moths, flies, and mosquitoes. They have sharp teeth that they use to catch and kill insects.

Some bats are also known to eat small vertebrates, such as frogs, lizards, and mice.

Bats are important to the environment because they help to control the population of insects and other pests. They also help to pollinate plants.
