Also unless you know for certain they haven't touched you, get rabies shots. Actually just get rabies shots anyway.
Thank you, I had no idea.
Looks like at least one type can take flight from the ground, although with some difficulty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIl_bYFMr8o
death sentence seems a bit excessive, surely they can climb? Yeah putting them on the ground probably makes it much more likely they'll get nabbed by a predator before they get up a tree, but it feels like saying "putting a human in a tree is a death sentence"
Interesting note on not putting on the ground, guessing they don't need a lot of runway to take off though. The ones I've caught I would bring out in whatever I caught them in and just open it. Even the one that had a part of the wing skin missing (my cat caught it first) seemed to take off without issue from a standing height.
I'm guessing it's just a short drop to take off thing, very quick critters. Mostly these little ones.
