The Argentine brown bat (Eptesicus furinalis) is a common insectivorous bat across much of South America. This photo was taken in Paramaribo, Suriname.
Okay, so it has been a while since I posted a bat pic. Here is the fix for those in need. I caught a couple of these bats in Suriname, and in urban areas. Seems they are willing to roost in an attic, so likely one of the several species that can be seeing across Paramaribo every evening popping out of houses.
And twice recently the comic "Speedbump" has had something of a bat theme. You can find them at:

Hopefully I am not committing some error of protocol with those links. I tried to post them from the Speedbump website but couldn't find archived strips. Obviously I would prefer to drive viewers to the actual Speedbump site. And with this in mind, here it is:

I both a fan and a detractor of Speedbump. Sometimes Dave Coverly is the funniest guy going, and oozes brilliance. Other times the work just doesn't get it done at all. But in the end I will always go with occasional genius over the endless pap of so many comics today. Speedbump would be in my top ten comics, if I ever were to try and do such, which I remain uninclined to do.
