Out Of Place Animals

I’ve seen them snatch insects from the surface of a river but I always thought that once on the ground they could not fly off.

I have seen bats do this and also swerve to inspect a fishing bait in mid-air, then veer off. A fly-fisher of my acquaintance once caught a bat that took the fake fly for a real one, and since then he's always packed up immediately he sees a bat.
