Abstract

Abstract We report on mist-net captures of three individual Nycticeius humeralis (Evening Bat) with anterior portions of Camponotus floridanus (Florida Carpenter Ant) attached by the mandibles. Based on head morphology, the ants were most likely alate queens captured as prey during the ants' nocturnal mating flights. No similar interaction between evening bats and ants has previously been documented.
