Its dangerous to get real close because rattlesnakes and all sorts of other critters come up to eat any of the sick ones that might not make it on the fly out. It only happens around sunset and for some reason they come out real dense certain summer evenings and it shows up on the radar.

I can send you some if you can get Morty to come down
here and we can use his hair as a giant net.
Quite a visual on that...

Your bat thread got me to thinking about caves.
When I used to tour New Zealand we did the Waitomo Caves, the glow-worms cave.
The caves were really beautiful with stalagmites and stalactites and then you took a boat ride in the black water to view the glow-worms.
After awhile it really freaked me out that the glow-worms would fall on my head, so I had to wear a hat.
It was a unique experience.
