Species of the day : Hairy-legged myotis (Myotis keaysi). We captured this bat at dawn when we were setting up our mistnets to capture hummingbirds in a nearby forest fragment. It is quite a small bat species that inhabits a wide range of forest types from Mexico all the way into South America. It gets its name from the presence of thick brownish-gray fur on the flight membrane that stretches between its legs. He was not very happy to have been captured and kept trying to curl up into a ball and bite onto his own feet!
