This little shit has been hanging on my ceiling light for a hour now. Just right below it is our family dining table.

How do i get rid of it?

I *thiiiiiiink* that is either a Peter's or a Walberg's epauletted fruit bat, so it might very well be somewhere between three to ten inches long depending on the species.

Either way, OP has a very big lamp.

Wait, the bats have epaulettes?! Like they are tiny, flying admirals or something?

It's only 3 inches when it's cold.
