Have you heard of that thing?
That one evading to be seen?
That teeny furry evil thing
Roaming at night dubiously
Looking for a living?
If target is seized there would
Appear tiny cuts on the skin
And cherry fluids will ooze from within
Lapping the prey up till it stops from breathing
So whether you are plump or lean
Raising a livestock or just meandering
The heat sensor is always working
Leading the teeth to the vein closest to the skin

This one is eerie like the vampire bat. Though you elaborate on bat your poem reminds me of active mosquitoes that can cause immense damage to human and livestock, in that matter assets.
