Do you have bats where you live? We have a lot and they only come out at night. Most are those little fruit type bats.

Those pics are great! And he sure did go through a lot to get them too!

We have little brown bats and big brown bats here. They swoop by the security light. I love watching them.

Wow those are awesome!! I see bats down at the park near one of the ponds if I walk late evening or early morning. There are usually about five of them or so. I think they are very cool. When I was in grade school I was walking through the neighbors woods and climbed an apple tree that was in the middle of the woods. Amazingly enough I discovered a bat hanging upside down sleeping in that tree. I went home and got a big jar and went back out and put the jar under it and then brought it up and got it inside of it. I took it home but late that afternoon my brother was going to kill it so I let it go and it flew away. I wasn't going to keep it anyway, just wanted to look at it for awhile.

Awsome pictures! We have the little brown bats and I like to go out a dusk to watch them come out and swoop around after insects
