That's good to know... If you're on Facebook, you may consider requesting an ID from Philippine Bat Champions, https://www.facebook.com/groups/14107.... They have help me ID many of my spottings...

Roost in trees. They let this go and is still alive.

Howdy Coleen! Do these bats come from a cave or roost in trees? Is this one still alive?
