I think bats are cool. I've even slept underneath hibernating bats while caving in Southern Indiana as a youth. Indiana cave bats are also pretty cute and about the size of a mouse.
We never messed with the bats. We only caved in the winter to minimize the chance of being trapped due to flooding and hibernating bats that are disturbed will often "wake up" and then die due to starvation. That's a photo off of Google.Looks like you got you a little pipistrelle there. He's cute! I have seen them caving in Kentucky and Arkansas. They mostly just hang there and sleep. You can get a real close look at them sometimes, but you are not allowed to touch them.
