Conspicuous and distinctive, with three highly visible white spots on its black back, and larger-than-life ears for its body size, the spotted bat would doubtless be the object of more human attention if it flew during the day. As it is, these bats are caught only rarely and few of their roosts have been found. Learn more about the Euderma maculatum, more commonly known as a Spotted Bat, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
