Most people don’t know of the Vesper bats’ (subfamily Vespertilioninae) remarkable ability to camouflage themselves to look like anything. This might explain why the app is seeing them everywhere. In fact, there might be one or two in your room right now. Have you taken a close look at your computer mouse lately?
