I'm hoping I won't be the only person uploading to this thread.
Here's my 1st: the honey bee.
Without this bee we'd be lost as they are essential for crop pollination.
Taken in my garden on an angelica flower.
Still a bit windy for good insect pics but this guy is an insect specialist..
What a beautiful thing you have captured here (the photo, not the bat.) Thank you for putting this out there.
Ta. I understand better now.
Great photo. My cat caught a bat once, or found it already dead, I dont' know how she came by it, but she was fascinated by it and kept pushing towards me and meeping, like she was asking what it was, is it a mouse or a bird?
Oh, yes. I hadn't considered that

I believe that Number is talking about the word 'captured' (ie the photo) not 'beautiful' (ie the bat) with his bracketed phrase.
although this Natterer's is beautiful too. (& genetically closer to a whale than a mouse)
You don't find them cute? Like little flying mice? I picked one up once during a school trip to a stately home, and it was so cute,loking So I stroked it and then dscovered what the prhase "alive with fleas" actually means. and it all suddenly got a lot less cute...
Nature is great looked at from a distance but when you get up close, it's always "Icky" in some way...
