Generally, bats are not aggressive creatures. In fact they are quite shy and timid. Contrary to what you may have heard, bats do not attack people. Nor do they swoop down and get tangled in your hair. They may occasionally fly alarmingly near in pursuit of a mosquito or fly, giving the appearance of a swooping attack, but you can rest assured that they were only trying to catch their dinner. Bats are actually beneficial to humans in several different ways:
- They consume flying insects such as moths, mosquitoes and flies
- They are indicators of air quality and ecological health
- They pollinate and disperse seeds for significant plants
