Watching the fruit bats zigzag through the figtrees as the moon rises. They are in a frenzy, gorging themselves on bait-balls of sugar-drunk fruitflies.
I took this in slow motion, but even with that, they flicker and strobe past.

"Reimer has spent over a decade specializing in chiropterology, the study of the species with 'winged hands.' She was drawn to study bats, in part, because of the way they’ve evolved to fill ecological niches, pollinating specific flowers, distributing fruit and tree seeds that help sustain and regenerate forests, and regulating insect populations." —Trina Moyles for @hakaimagazine
