I was pleased and amazed at this new little creature , that has been found. I have always been found of bats, and have seen many round where I live, at dusk.

Aren't these just superb?

He is so tiny - but feisty when caught it seems. it's a feel-good story , considering so many that we hear of species becoming extinct. elaine!

Steel bat, nice to see you like bats too.

There is an old church I go see, and there are loads of bats that live under the entrance porch roof. I think they are amazing little creatures

I also get bats flying around here at dusk, its nice to see them swooping, and catching moths.

Never seen any around here, probably because I live near a busy A-road.

[whisker]

good question, FMS! I seem to remember in the website it says

"Named for its "diabolic" coloration"

I wondered about that too! ;D
