Circa Summer 2021 When Stella Luna Cast Silhouettes Across Bella Luna

Yours truly jogs his memory to write about witnessing bats appearing at twilight swooping mammals (in search of prey) quite silently whooshing thru the dusky night flitting to and fro, hither and yon across the darkening sky analogous to erratic zigzag pattern traced courtesy skittering kite resembling little black birds (think chimney sweeps) predicated espying them from height of about five feet and ten inches beautiful creature whom one human they excite dark shadows temporarily eclipsing man in the moon obscuring said natural satellite of Earth, come cool weather, whence winged wafting animals own birthright despite suffering *****sapien wrought them bum rap reputation. Though initially frightful, bats unique aesthetically beguiling captivating anatomy does appeal and compromising said species quite a big deal cuz they naturally regulate an essential role in pest control, pollinating plants and dispersing seeds. Recent studies estimate bats eat enough pests to save more than $1 billion per year in crop damage and pesticide costs in the United States corn industry alone. Habitat destruction undermining aforementioned living things akin to Damaging Achilles heel anthropomorphising, (albeit personifying) planet earth, an entity all living things get their meal cuz meddlesomeness to steal, viz humans beings self appropriating bountiful resources of Gaia with selfish zeal only spells demise of self serving bipedal hominid.
