WOOLLY BATS live in spider webs because some species are insectivores that primarily eat spiders, and others use them as roosting sites. Some woolly BATS like the Painted Woolly bat, eat spiders that make their webs on leaves, such as sugar cane. Tiny woolly BATS in Africa also use colonial spider webs as a habitat and are involved in dispersing young spiders. These bats also use webs for foraging, often hovering and picking spiders from the webs.

The Sun can be seen through thinner altostratus clouds, but thicker layers can be quite opaque.
