Popular Post Queenie O. Posted October 3, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 3, 2018 Here's an unexpected sight from this morning. While I was sitting on the bamboo bench in the garden early this morning, I happened to look up into the palm canopy to see a little bat just hanging there, appearing to be asleep. Maybe the rainstorm last night sent him there, and he didn't make his way away until it started to get dark early tonight. So many bigger and scarier Indiana Jones type creatures that one sees here, you could almost get immune to being startled (sometimes) after a while. This little guy was cute though. I've seen bats flying around certain trees at night on a full moon especially, but so far this is the first I've ever seen hanging so close by during the day! 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted October 3, 2018 Forum Support Posted October 3, 2018 We have 10 foot sliding french doors that look out over the water. Not uncommon for bats to fly into the house at night as they chase the insects attracted to the ceiling lights. About two years ago one made it all the way down the hallway and into the master bedroom where I was reclined on the bed and reading my Kindle. Both of our small dogs went into a frenzy as the bat struggled to find a way back out of the bedroom. I finally had to remove the window screen and then turn off the bedroom light and he made his exit through the window. Exciting for sure! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
