Picture of the Month
December 2007
Honduran White Tent Bats (Ectophylla alba), Sarapiqui Valley, Costa Rica
These tiny bats, little larger than walnuts, crowd together under a heliconia leaf in the Caribbean lowland forest of Costa Rica. They build their tents by chewing the edges of the leaf midrib which forms a watertight, and apparently cozy, structure. There are twelve bats here - try and count them.
