The reason for doing it now was that we had a visit from an ex member Dr. Celia S\u00e9lem Salas who is an academic at the University of Yucat\u00e1n. While she was doing her PhD in the UK she was a a member of the bat group and she was keen to do something &#8220;batty&#8221; while she was here. The Bedfordshire members were apologetic for the damp weather, but she said it was lovely to be cool and not surrounded by mosquitoes.\u00a0 Given that she is surrounded by what we would consider amazing bats &#8211; like this <em>Artebius jamaciensis<\/em>, we were surprised how absolutely fascinated she was with pipistrelles.
