subsiding.
After 1 hr [hour] or so bat was removed +
found to be in weakened condition. No longer
opened mouth + squeaked as it did all other
times but lay quiet.
A drop of water was offered on the unsharpened
end of a pencil - water entered nostril +
caused a sneeze but soon some was
lapped by the tongue after which the animal
drank greedily both from the pencil drops
+ from a small pool on the deck.
When the pencil end was offered the mouth
would open as if in readiness to drink.
A meal-worm larva was snipped in
half + half was offered. After a couple of
licks the insect fragment was taken greedily
+ contents sucked out - working the shell
between the teeth assisted by the facile tongue.
- discarded when empty The second half
treated the same way.
In absence of further insects, an earthworm was
cut into short sections - one was taken but
discarded shortly. A section was split lengthwise
+ turned inside out; then was taken readily +

Four or 5 pieces were taken in this manner + the
"husks" of two were masticated with great chewing
action + were swallowed.
In attempting to get bat back into box
it took off - flew strongly around
