I really love these guys. Bats are definitely underappreciated creatures. I do feel bad about flashing them with my camera.

I hope to take more bat pictures in the future, with the golden shot being an in-flight shot.

These are actually new world fruit bats.  Probably the Artibeus Jamaicensis species.

Well, I wouldn't take them as misunderstood; just so awesome that people will use them as evil guys in movies and set stereotypes, that kind of misunderstood.

I agree, they are unappreciated creatures! These guys are adorable, I'm surprise your flash didn't startle them..?

Those are horseshoe bats, aren't they?

Bats are beautiful creatures. It's a real shame there is so much negative stigma attatched to them. They're important to the food chain, especially where certain plants and insects are concerned.

An incredible shot!

Are they horseshoe bats? I have no idea! I have to admit that I am pretty inadequate when it comes to identifying bats by sight. I wish that I knew for sure.

Bats are indeed beautiful. I was so excited the other day when I saw the first several of the season out feasting on bugs. They're a welcome sight to my eyes! It might sound a little lame, but I am thinking about checking into whether there are bat clubs nearby so that I can learn more about them.

A very belated thank-you for your nice comment!

You're very welcome!

That's not lame! Bats are highly underappreciated. I saw a litte brown bat roosting in a porch umbrella once. He would have stayed there, but unfortunately we had to use the umbrella, and he promptly flew away the moment it was opened. The Wikipedia might have some good links to bat sites.

Neat. Where'd you find bats?
Also, were they delicious?

Thanks! And thank-you for the favourite!

(Also, I am just starting to check out Blood Plus. Happened across it one night, watched it, and so far, so good. Not my usual fare, but it looks like a keeper. I noticed that you are a fan.)

Thanks!

Also, not only are they cute and furry, but they also eat the mosquitoes.
