re: #229 Alouette

Wouldn’t be so cool if those were hornets, or bats.

Bats are harmless. They eat bugs. I got to see a huge colony of bats in Austin Texas…pretty cool how several thousand can black out the sky. You just have to hope they all don’t have to take a crap at the same time.

As far as hornets go—never saw one—but I worked for a beekeeper for a few years and I saw several “virgin flights” - when the young queen is bred by a drone…the cloud is smaller, obviously, but you could watch it move up and down the valley and around trees…it really is quite remarkable.
