Bat Tower.

Ants of the Prairie have designed and constructed a bat tower in an attempt to aid awareness of the importance of bats in our ecosystem.

'Bat Tower is sited and designed to attract and facilitate bat inhabitation. Located adjacent to a lake, the site boasts an abundance of mosquitoes and other bat-attracting insects. Chives, oregano and other bat-attracting herbs are planted within the base of the tower. To help facilitate entry, the project’s ribbed construction includes a series of ‘landing pads’ near the top of the tower.' The red panels on the top also absorb heat to keep the tower warm enough for bat life.

Bats = a good thing. (As Martha Stewart would say?)
