It’s the best day of the year, Happy #BatAppreciationDay 🦇!! Here’s a fluffy brown-eyed beauty (Doryrhina cyclops, Cyclops leaf nose bat) we recently had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for supporting SMACON’s research and efforts to help bats thrive!

Next on the list: a head lamp 🔦 How do you find a friend in the dark? Enter the head lamp, which is essential for handling bats and recording their acoustics as they dart around in the dark. We also use them when searching for bats in caves.

Ever wonder what's on a bat researcher's packing list? 🗒️We’re all geared up for another season of forest bat trapping. First on the list is a harp trap that allows us to catch bats without causing them harm or having to disentangle them from a net. ✅🦇 #FutureforNature
