Thank you Daniele..and Project Noah for selecting this bat picture as SOTD.
Congratulations Sunny! This looks like an insectivore, maybe a species of Myotis? (Family Vespertilionidae).
Congratulations Sunny, this tiny beauty has been chosen as Spotting of the Day to highlight Bat Week:
It's Bat Week! Running from October 24 to October 31, Bat Week is a time to celebrate bats and their role in nature and to spread the word about how to best protect them. Often demonized and misunderstood, bats are a highly diverse and vital component of ecosystems, playing important roles in pest control and plant pollination. In North America, a condition known as white-nose syndrome (WNS) has caused the death of millions of bats.
