So annoying. Especially if you have established stone fruit trees anywhere near where you park your vehicles. They'll just hang there chewing and looking at you while dropping greasy's.

This is true. They can strip an orchard in a day.

I think ours are the world's largest...or close to it.



But they are not nocturnal, have excellent vision, and flock in exposed trees.

Our tiny bats are nocturnal too.
