Bat-tastic Rooftop Party - Eastern Long Fingered Bats and Their Uninvited Guests!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Bruce Thomson, we witness a wild gathering like no other in Girraween National Park, Queensland, Australia. The roof of a cave becomes the hottest spot for an exclusive bat soirée during broad daylight. The stars of the show are undoubtedly the Eastern Long Fingered Bats (Miniopterus orianae oceanensis), showcasing their impressive roosting skills as they huddle together in tight-knit clusters. These nocturnal mammals seem to have thrown caution to the wind and decided that partying during daytime is all the rage! However, it seems these winged party animals aren't alone in their revelry. A few cheeky ectoparasitic batflies (Hippoboscoidea) have crashed the bash, making themselves visible amidst all the excitement. Talk about uninvited guests with questionable fashion sense! But fear not! Our batty friends are well-equipped to handle such intrusions. As true masters of animal behavior and self-defense tactics, they navigate through life's challenges with grace and resilience. So next time you find yourself exploring nature's wonders at Girraween National Park, keep your eyes peeled for these extraordinary long fingered bats and their unexpected companions. It's a sight that reminds us how even wildlife knows how to let loose and have some fun!
