Fruit bats would much rather eat meat. And insects are meat, so cool. I got what I needed. Thanks!

Very, very few bats are carnivorous. Even fewer are solely carnivorous.
Most bats are insectivorous (nearly every North American bats falls into this category and feed solely on insects; i.e. pallid bats, gray bats, cave myotis, and on and on) or
frugivorous (eat fruits, i.e. flying foxes, fig eating bats).
Others drink blood (sangivorous), eat fish (piscivorous and technically carnivorous), and some drink nectar and consume pollen.
It is true that some bats prey on frogs (Fringe-lipped bat) or small birds, lizards, and some small mammals including other bats.

"Fruit bats would much rather eat meat"
Do you have a source for that statement? If you are not going to listen to the answers you get and are going to make up your own bogus answer, why did you even ask?

there are many types of bats. Each different type eats different things. Some are carnivorous others are not. It depends on which bat
