bats are cool!
we need bats in the keys. the way they can devour mozzies is legendary. but we also have dragonfruit cactus that needs bats to pollenate them.
fun history from the conch republic:
there was a “bat tower” constructed on Sugarloaf Key, ostensibly to rid the island of skeeters, in order to facilitate greater tourism.
no bat ever lived there, sadly.
hurricane irma finished off the well intentioned, but never realized Bat Tower of Sugarloaf.

What you need is obviously a bell tower.
Build a bell tower, and bats will come.
Call it the Bela Lugosi Bat Sanctuary & Blood Bank.

Add some kind of symbol that alerts bats, it would have to be large and bright to be visible at night.
