These "cute" critters were found in summer of 2011 in the rafters of an outbarn at the home of friends in Vincennes, Indiana. They are essentially harmless to humans, but can be unnerving when they fly close to you as they circle and dive - looking for insects. Bats' "radar system" of echo-location of their prey is amazing; they serve as an important resource for reducing excess insect populations.
