Where's the Belfry When You Need it?

Yesterday morning we found this lost bat crawling on the door of our entryway porch. After taking a few pictures, we opened the door and the bat flitted away, hopefully more successful finding its way home this time.

The last bat in the house I recall was almost 40 years ago, so they're pretty good about avoiding human habitations.

How did bats ever come to be symbols of evil? Why are there people who kill every snake they see? What a strange culture we live in.
