1. Yikes! He looks scary!

Something we don't usually associate with storks...

[LoveMyCali]

6. Actually the ones with babies

are kind of scarier.

But as someone who is terrified of birds, I think I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

7. I know! Whoever came up with that, anyway??

But at least it's not a bat...

How can you not love that face??

[LoveMyCali]

8. Their faces are adorable

It's when they fly and swoop at me that they lose me as a fan.

10. Well, most of the rumors about them are superstitions

But I have no right to try and convince you of that since you are much more experienced dealing with bats than I am...

12. I live in mosquito country.

Bats eat krillions of them. Bats good!

14. I love bats, myself, think they're adorable

But my friend has had more than one experience with a bat getting into the house and that isn't much fun.

As for mosquitoes, I also like spiders since they take care of them, too. I'm one of those crazy people who transport any spiders I find in the house outdoors so they can continue their good work.
