More really great pictures from Carol in Nicaragua.  They are up to 6 nights of trapping, 171 bats representing 29 species!  Carol said she met her first common vampire (top) a couple of nights ago.  "Each night we're still capturing new species.  Other nifty bats included the fringed-lipped bat (eats frogs), greater white-lined bat (looks like a hostess cupcake), proboscis bat (tiny), greater fishing bat, lesser fishing bat."  Can't wait!

I now know the bats pictured, from top to bottom are:
Common vampire
Greater fishing bat
Seba's short-tailed bat
Proboscis bat
