Description

From the Wellesbotham Faery Collection. specimen RW-058.  The specimen card reads:

Specimen Type: Southwestern Batwinged Biter
Date Collected: 14 September, 1901
Location Collected: Bisbee, Arizona
Additional Comments: Nocturnal, very nasty. Flies only short distances, but very fast. - RSW

According to Wellesbotham's journals, these creatures jump and glide more than fly, not unlike a flying squirrel,  and cannot fly more than a dozen feet or so.

Rodney Singer Wellesbotham (1873-1910), the only son of billionaire oaktag baron Archibald Wellesbotham, was obsessed with faeries. Over the period from 1895 to 1909 he claimed to have captured, killed, mounted and/or dissected, hundreds of these small beings, as well as a handful of other cryptozoological creatures.
