While the media made a big deal out of the disappearing honey bees, bats are quietly suffering a similar fate. A massive bat die-off is happening. Their extinction in the United States is threatening — and no one knows why. Every single bat in the United States may soon be dead.
Experts have no idea why White-nose syndrome (WNS), a mysterious fungus that kills bats, is spreading so rapidly. No bat species is immune to WNS. Another possible reason behind bat die-off is the use of pesticides. Bats are known to be sensitive to the same toxins used to kill insects -just as we are. The effectiveness of new pesticides may also lead to a shortage of food supply for bats – they are the world’s greatest insect eaters.
A single nursing bat can eat half its weight in insects every day, including those that attack crops. It is estimated, for instance that 100 million bats in central Texas eat 2 million pounds of insects nightly. Without bats, farmers may use more pesticides to protect their crops, an action which may harm the environment even more. The implications of bat die-off for agriculture are enormous.
A small brown bat can eat as many as 600 mosquitoes in an hour. The spread of severe communicable diseases could be devastating if bats just vanished. Bats are nature’s primary means of controlling mosquito populations. Major diseases carried by mosquitoes include West Nile Fever, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Malaria, and Dengue Fever. All of them are severe and life-threatening in humans and animals

END TIMES TRUTH
Massive crop failures are one of the End Times Signs. Insect problems will worsen. Contagious diseases will kill livestock, humans, and a world already in trouble will finally lose hope. Experts are puzzled at what is coming upon this planet. Eventually, the entire planet will be made to know all comes from Yahweh’s anger.
