Night Friends American Bats 2002 37¢ Stamps Self-Adhesive Sheet for Additional Postage

This pane of 20 stamps consists of four different stamp designs featuring photographs of bats found in the continental United States: the red bat, the pallid bat, the spotted bat, and the leaf-nosed bat. The selvage photograph depicts two long-nosed bats and a flowering saguaro.

The photographs on the stamps and on the selvage were all taken by Dr. Merlin D. Tuttle of Bat Conservation International, Inc., based in Austin, Texas. The bats were released unharmed after being photographed.
