Managed to catch it and release it outside this morning. We'd had a bat (California myotis) stuck in the house for the last week too, I swear this thing looked bigger flying around than the bat did! :P (Managed to finally catch the bat this morning too...and release him).

Somehow they never make it indoors, which is a mixed blessing: they are ideal cat toys but I think our cats would go INSANE and probably destroy the house chasing one!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
