It then seemed to fly out, so I closed the door &amp; screen. This morning when I opened the curtains, I discovered it clinging to the inside of the screen door. I popped the screen off and took it into the woods.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2smokdE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/sceith.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/W129000206292026_111030-s.jpg\" alt=\"Little Brown Bat\" class=\"wp-image-2590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sceith.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/W129000206292026_111030-s.jpg 675w, https:\/\/sceith.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/W129000206292026_111030-s-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Little_brown_bat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Myotis lucifugus @ wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few minutes it fluttered off into the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Little Brown Bat found it&#8217;s way into my home two night&#8217;s ago.
