Tomato-pilfering bats, TEC? They must be enjoying themselves. Nextdoor has a gigantic fig tree, and the fruit bats are holding nightly convocations in its upper branches. Sounds like they're having the best time ever. I sneak the odd fig over the fence (don't tell anyone).
Fig. 1. Collaboration between Tomato Plant and Unknown Grub. The Scream. 2011.
