How interesting Indeed!
They only make the tent from the leaf of a
Heliconia
plant.
(it's all Greek 2 me!
)
When the sun shines through the leaves of their tent, it makes the bats' white coat appear green, making them hard to spot! However, their tent is not home sweet home for long. The bats rarely return to the same tent for more than a day.
