A Lil Batty

[kHT]

I was sitting here at my desk working on some photos and out of the corner of my eye I spotted something flying.
I was watering which brings in the butterflies but this was a little bigger and black!! We didn't get close!!

It landed on the back window screen and returned this evening so DH could see it, too!

Love the little feet and hands. Little furry buggers.
We got one of those little suckers in the house after he hung out above our screen door one cool evening. He was warming himself in the air rising from the top of the door and "dropped in" while we were going in and out bringing in groceries. Took 2 days to get him out.
Glad he didn't turn out to be Dracula.
Seriously, though, we do have a bat house in the yard and would be very happy if they took up residence there.

Cool, but isn't it odd for them to be out during the day? I thought they were dusk to dawn critters. I would love to have them around my house, they are great at keeping the mosquitos at bay.

I just flashed back to Steven King's "Salems Lot" He is scratching at the window waiting for an invite in so he can drink your blood

They do on occasion come out during the day. I've seen lots of them growing up just hanging on sides of trees About like any other nocturnal critter.

OMG I was sooooo scared after I read that book! Especially the window scratching part LOL. I had just got done reading it and was sound asleep when I heard some one scratching on the screen outside my bedroom window, and some one was whispering my name! I almost peed my pants
But it was my brother, and he just was on leave from the army and got back in the middle of the night. Didn't want to wake any body, well except me!

That's so cool you got a picture of the lil sap sucker!

Annie! Almost the same thing happened to me after I finished reading it. My sister came over to see me and I had the curtain open and she scratched on the window screen to let me know she was there. Scared the bee jesus out of me
