So, just out of random curiosity, how does one safely remove a small bat that's hanging asleep from a curtain rod in one's living room?

No reason.


Update: My curiosity on this topic has abated.

I can happily endorse the "quickly wrap it in a towel" approach (even in awkward spaces), as long as that's coupled with leather gloves and a few other precautions. Apparently, the space between the downspout and the wall outside makes a perfectly adequate substitute for a curtain rod. Meanwhile, our bedroom doors were closed last night, so we're pretty sure he wasn't in there with us. I think we're safe.
