A Red Bat is held to examine its wing on June 21, 2017 in the Morgan Monroe State Forest. This particular bat had already been caught before, as noted by the metal band on its arm.
Indiana State University doctoral student Lizz Beilke untangles the first catch of the night, an endangered Indiana Bat, from a net setup near the pond in the Morgan Monroe State Forest on June 21, 2017. The net had only ben up for about 10 minutes before the team had their first bat to study for the evening.
Indiana State University doctoral student Tim Divoll prepares surgical cement to be used to attach a radio transmitter to the back of a bat. The transmitters are small so that they fit on the backs of the bats.
They help Divoll track the movements of the Indiana Bat, which is endangered due to white nose syndrome.

Since so little is known about bats, it is important that someone is collecting information about their things like diet and movements of the bats, according to Divoll.
