Dear Gentle Reader,I know it's not easy, but look closely at this picture to see these rare, nocturnal, poisonous beasties...
Can you see them?
Try looking at a side angle; I know it's tough, but capturing them on e-film was a once in a lifetime opportunity...
Do you see them now?
Ahh... the challenge of night photography with no flash...
There are (were) dangers in taking a picture like this.
There is the danger of disrupting these beasts, because you are an uninvited guest in their domain. Closely related to the first danger is alerting them to your presence. Especially when they can see you much better than you can see them.
Further, their maneuverability in the dark, compared to ours, is as tilted in their favour as a comparison of bite toxicity would reveal, too...
I readily admit (and apologize) that this photo is not the easiest to see.
For a description (as always) hover your mouse over the picture.
When you know what you are looking at, it's easier to make them out, no?
Tschuess,
Chris

The sound is coming through OK, Sepiru Chris, but I'm not getting any picture.
AAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!
Oh wait.....
April Fool!
Love ya, Sctibe! Aloha-
Um, that's "SCRIBE," heh heh.....
Nice picture of your lens cover, Chris. Even greater save while making the rest of us look like we're the fools!!! Happy April 1st to you, too.
I guess it's all dark because the bats have their eyes shut and the cameraman and the camera all have their eyes shut too. Must have been quite terrifying to all. Good one! :0)
My son has the opposite problem. He accidentally put his mobile in the washing machine. Miraculously, it still works - only it takes all-white photographs.
Your gentle trick is preferable to the salt my dear daughter put in my dear husband's coffee creamer to celebrate the day.
