Bat roost box

Give bats a place to roost

A roost box for small bats: they crawl up through the gap at the bottom into narrow crevices between the inner panels, and the ribbed back wall gives them grip. Mount it 3-5 m up on a sunny wall. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.
