This is an interesting link, I guess if you have bats in your garden then you have insects too?
Bat-friendly gardening Quote:
Try to include some of the following:
* Flowers that vary not only in colour and fragrance, but also in shape.
* Pale flowers that are more easily seen in poor light, so attracting insects at dusk.
* Single flowers, which tend to produce more nectar than double varieties.
* Flowers with insect-friendly landing platforms and short florets, like those in the daisy or carrot families.
