I just read a 13th century story about a bishop who meets a spectral version of King Arthur and, at the end of the night, asks Arthur for a way to prove that he really had met King Arthur. Arthur then gives him the power to summon a butterfly in any season, simply by opening his hand. 

Even better, the chronicler doesn’t know what this means either: “Let men reflect on what the spirit of King Arthur intended to tell us by this gesture; its relevance to the present day can only be guessed at.”

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.
