I have three pet bats that I let out when we have a gathering on our deck - they take care of mosquitos! (kidding) - it's fun watch the bats and the barn swallows strafing for mosquitos at twilight.

Used to be a bat that would fly up and whoosh
right by my face when I'd be out standing on
the deck looking up at the stars late at night.
I figure it might have been attracted by mosquitoes
that would be hovering around, but then again,
perhaps it was just curious or territorial.

Then, when I used to go out running in the evening
on a trail out behind our barns, there was a bat
that often flew past me and would manage to get
close enough that its wing would seem to brush
against my head. It used to do that at least
once or twice each evening while I was back
there running.
