Bat, Birds, Bugs

Post by orionmystery »

This Tube-nosed bat (Murina sp.? ID suggested by M.A. Muin) was caught in a Caerostris sp. spider's web. The bat managed to break lose and fell onto the undergrowth after about 5 minutes. We looked but couldn't find it though. Selangor, Malaysia.

The cercus forceps on that earwig are far from boring.
