Small reddish brown bat about 2 inches long with about a 6 to 8 inch wingspan when in flight. Was hanging on a weed stem in my Northern pasture, during the daytime. It took wing when I moved another weed to take a better photo.
Correction to my earlier post: Lives in trees.
Please consider adding this spotting to the new North American Bat Tracker mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1830...
Your welcome...I didn't realize follage bats existed until I went to my bat training. But again.....very beautiful picture. I love how you caputured it in it's normal hanging position, hanging by one foot using their tail as a blanket That is actually it's tail across it's belly.
Very beautiful picture..Hard to find these beauties cause normally they are higher up in the tree. Red Bats actually are Follage bats and prefer to be in open spaces and live in trees. They are our most colorful bats in Indiana and my favorite =]
