Do bats fly into your hair?

This is a common fear about bats and a common misconception. Bats use an ability called echolocation to determine obstacles in their path. This echolocation is so acute that a bat can manoeuvre within a millimetre of any object while flying. Although bats may occasionally fly very close to a person's face while hunting for insects, they do not get stuck in the hair.
