#Similar to the reason i tag using common names rather than binominal names. it's just easier for me since i queue a lot of bats at once

Just a heads up, bats aren’t really categorized as microbats and megabats anymore. The current categorization is Yangochiroptera and Yinpterochiroptera, since more recent research has shown that some bats (like bumblebee bats) share more in common with fruit bats than other so-called megabats. Nothing wrong with using them as tags if you want to separate bigger and smaller bats but just thought I’d let you know. :)

I know anon! Have done since before I started this account :> The only reason I use the older labels is because they're easier to spell and I'm a little more familiar with where bats fall within them, it just makes queuing easier because I don't need to look up quite as much additional information!

I appreciate the intent though and I get it, maybe once I'm more familiar with the dividing lines I'll tag em that way but for now we're goin old school I suppose lol
