Na na na na na na na na BAT STAMP

[shantell]

I'm thinking of designing a set of postage stamps based on bats of Canada.

Here's information about stamp design for Canada Post.

More information here about what goes on a Canadian stamp:

Batwatch.ca tracks bats in Canada with the help of citizens.

There are 18 known species of bat in Canada. I don't have time to do a series of 18, so I'll have to narrow it down. I'll include the most common species.

1. The most common species of bat is the little brown bat. It's in every province and territory except for Nunavut. There are no known bat species in Nunavut.
   
   
2. The second most common species is the northern long-eared myotis, which lives in every province/territory except for PEI and Nunavut.
   
   
3. The big brown bat is one of the largest bat species in Canada. They may be found in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
   
   
4. The silver-haired bat has silver-tipped fur and is endemic to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories.
   
   
5. The red bat is colourful. The male is red-orange, and the female yellow-maroon. They live in Northwest Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
   
   
6. The hoary bat is the largest of the bats in Canada. They live in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Northwest Territories.
   
   

Here are my thumbnail sketches of these six species.
