The Bat was a good-luck symbol of happiness
at one time in Japan.
At Japanese old house, occasionally
I find a bat put on the transom window
made of wooden panel , on the
paper sliding door and the building decorated
various charms against evil.
Our ancestors liked it as the lucky animal
which exterminated the harmful insects of the fields.
Bat is one of the "engimono"
in China because
they bear a lot of children.

返信削除Bat is a mysterious creature, isn't it.
It is difficult for me to find the nest.

I can't imagine a Western woman wearing clothes with bats, unless she is a gothic girl :-)
返信削除Here in Finland bats are protected. There are places where bat viewing is organized, but I still never went there.
If you want, you can see toy-bats in Villa Elfvik Nature House here:

Just scroll down a bit to see the "bat cave" - a small veranda with "bats". In Villa Elfvik there's a lot of information about nature around, so in the bat cave they tell about 3 bat species that live near.
I liked your thriller, cute photos! ^_^
