JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas - Bats in the United States are regarded for the most part as beneficial animals; they assist in maintaining the balance of nature by eating enormous quantities of insects like mosquitos, termites, and agricultural pests, diminishing mosquito-related diseases and the need for pesticides, according to Bat Conservation International. The majority of the approximately 30 bat species recorded from Texas feed principally on insects.
