Epidemic killing bats and ecological consequences

In 2018 and 2019,millions of bats in North America are dying because of White Nose Syndrome.A deadly fungus is killing them.
                            Bats have sharp little teeth.They usually emerge from nests to feed at night.
                             Bats are a vital part of the ecosystem.They devour insects as they crisscross the night sky.A single bat eats up to a 1,000 bugs per hour.
                             Bats  help humans,especially farmers.Bats clean up things in gardens,forests and crops.
                            Once these natural predators are gone from night skies,pesticide use will rise.
