Is That a Bat?

At first, we thought it was a bat but then realized it was a moth. In Alberta, the biggest moth we had seen was the size of a quarter. When Marcel took a group to Nicaragua some years ago, one of the boys caught a moth the size of a bat and let it loose inside one of the girl's tents. That caused some screaming!

Our little girls weren't frightened. Ahava checked it out, Emma caught it (a bit of its wing broke off), and then the three little blondies did a successful "catch and release" using a cookie box. This moth was about the size of my (Ingrid's) hand.
