I found these tent-making bats roosting under the broad leaves of a palm tree in a parking lot in Panama (albeit, a parking lot to a park). The bats get their name from the tents that they construct out of leaves, which they then roost under during the day in order to stay dry. There were probably forty of these bats in this single tree.

An image that Bela Lugosi would love!
You never leave anything unturned to find another interesting photo , seem to be a small type of bat 🦇 but know how to survive

Wonderful. They have such defined and interesting features.
Not the prettiest of beasts, but fascinating.
I was lucky enough several years ago to be in Zambia for the giant 5 million bat migration.
