Bats pollinate countless tropical plants, and they are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests because they scatter the seeds of "pioneer plants" that begin the restoration process. And a new study shows that insect-eating bats save farmers in the United States more that $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops. But maybe the most important reason to protect bats is that we need to conserve wildlife species so future generations can appreciate the wonders of nature just as we can. CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE to support the statement that bats are helpful to farmers.

"Bats save farmers in the United States more than $3.5 billion a year in reduced pesticide use because they eat moths and other insects that destroy crops."

"Bats scatter the seeds of 'pioneer plants.'"

"Bats pollinate countless tropical plants."

"Bats are essential for regrowing cleared or damaged rainforests."

All floods are not alike. Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days. In some instances, people are well aware a flood is coming and can try to do things to prepare like using sand bags, getting to higher elevation, or evacuating if necessary. But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain. Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water that carries rocks, mud, and other debris and can sweep away most things in its path. People are often unprepared for flash floods. CITE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE to support the statement that it's not always easy to tell when a flood will occur.

"But flash floods can develop quickly, sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain."

"Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days."
