Their wings catch the sunlight quite stunningly. If the world had more diurnal bats, I imagine they would take a special vaunted place in our mythologies, as messengers of the sun or sacred living flames or something like that, and children's science books would have to explain that no, bats don't actually glow with their own light like they do in cartoons.

There are depressingly few myths about bats, and most of those are bad myths. All the Good Bat stories are modern.
