Ohhh despite it killing the bat, the whiteness of the nose does add a bit of pizzazz to its look.
Like it's a wizened elder bat or something.
This is an intriguing piece though. It's no news that pesticides are more harm than good yet not using them leaves farmers at the risk that their crops are decimated.
I hope America bats win this battle...

I think bats in North America will follow the pattern of European and Asian bats. The few that survive will be immune to the fungus (they will adapt) and over time the population will rebuild. The bats have a lot of friends--a lot of teams of human helpers who are trying to get them over this rough patch.
And, the problem with pesticides is not restricted to farmers. Even in our own homes, when faced with an insect infestation many of us resort to insecticides. We know they are bad, but we have a hard choice to make.
