Micro bats
They feed on Boca Raton insects mainly and they use echolocation ability so as to find crawling and flying insects. They are great fliers and so catching insects is easy for them.

There are yet other micro bats that feed on other Florida bats, small birds, small rodents, lizards, frogs and fish.

Vampire bat
These are Boca Raton bats that usually feed on livestock. Occasionally, humans can also serve as donors to these bats. They do this by making a very small and painless incision on ones’ skin. They then lap he blood usingthe tongue. Their saliva has got chemicals with anti-coagulant properties so as to make sure that the meal keeps on coming.

Fruit eaters
Some Boca Raton micro bats feed on nectar, pollen, flowers or fruits. This is a diet that even the fruit bats and mega batsalso enjoy.

About three fourths of bars are Florida insect eaters and the bat can consume a third ofitsbodyweight every night. Hundreds of insects are consumed in a few hours and a so this means that one thousand bats can actually eat around four tons o f insects every year. Bats are very essential in the regulation of Boca Raton insects. If they were to be extinct, then the insectpopulation would go so high it would be alarming.
