We have lots of bats at night...no bugs that size though.

Those things are just as creepy looking in person too.

I've lived many places that had bats that would fly around at night. I've always thought they were cool to watch. When we lived in an apt near Houston, we lived ~1/3 mile from a bridge that was home to a colony of ~300k bats. The flooding from Harvey knocked that back a bit. Several years ago, they said it was ~200k. The 6.5 years that we lived there, I think I saw mosquitos about 5 times. Also, there was a time before I lived there, but I worked on the 9th floor of a building downtown that was ~3 miles from the bridge, and I would frequently see the bats stream past the 9th floor windows just about the time it was fully dark. It was pretty cool, and also reminiscent of something out of a horror flick with thousands of bats streaming past the window for 10-15 mins.
