    They are common in wetland areas with heavy mosquito population. Encouraging an active bat population is an extremely effective way to control mosquitos. They come flying out of these bat houses at dusk and gorge themselves.

    One of the largest bat houses in the country is at Spirit of Suwannee Music Park, a music festival venue in the wetlands of north Florida built right on the Suwannee River. Obviously insanely fertile ground for mosquitos, but this bat houses holds 30,000-50,000 bats which keep the mosquitos under control. It’s an insane sight, watching them all pour out of there for like 5 minutes straight right at dusk every night.

  • Because the teacher is wrong and it’s an idiotic question.

    The question asks the child to explain how Marty ate more pizza than Luis. “He didn’t” is not an appropriate answer to that question.

    We know that Marty and Louis didn’t eat from the same pizza, because Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. We also know that Marty did eat more, because it’s right there in the question.

    The only logical answer is that Marty’s pizza is bigger, and so 4/6 of his pizza amounts to more pizza than 5/6 of Luis’s smaller pizza.

    The question should have been “Marty ate 4/6 of a pizza and Luis ate 5/6 of a pizza. Explain who ate more pizza.”
