A Spanish ecologist, Pedro Romero-Vidal, was looking at a 1611 painting by Jan Brueghel and noticed what is likely a greater noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus) snacking on a bird while in flight. So cool. #ArtHistory #bats #art #brueghel #birds #biology #chiroptera pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2536

On both sides are large red characters of the ligature, the Double Happiness sign, and the yellow panels have Chinese inscriptions. Left column reads loosely translated 'Happy Money' as trademark, right column names maker Taixing.
