Con-Bat-ulations ! Somewhere there are about a hundred thousand mosquitos that won't be biting you this year....
I'm reminded of my mother-in-law's eulogy, delivered by the Episcopal priest of the church where she had been one of the sextons (along with my father-in-law) for many years. He had the audience laughing with his story of 'Die Fledermaus" that found its way into the church from the belfry, and my mother-in-law running in the pews with a dishcloth covering her hair screeching for her husband... Who came, captured the bat, put it into a container, took it home, and released it into his back yard to 'take care of the damn bugs'. She survived the death camps, but couldn't stand bats..
