Question for spelunkers: when a cave has *lots* of bats, do you get bitten by mosquitoes when you are just hanging around near the entrance? Am curious because people keep telling me that installing bat houses gets rid of their mosquitoes. I'm skeptical of their anecdotes. And skeptical of similar opinions on bat conservation web pages. #caves #caving #mosquitoes #science #biology #bats #chiroptera #spelunking
