A male Honduran White Bat (Phyllostomidae: Ectophylla alba) bites along the sides of the vein under a leaf so that it folds down into a tent. Females then roost there, and then he gets to mate with them. In this picture I cannot tell which one is the male, but if you look closely, you can see at least two babies (look for the white ears).
