If you can play Blu-ray3D, you can see some great 3-D photography of
bats in David Attenborough's Kingdom of Plants 3D:

It has a lot of 3-D microphotography of insects too that is very
stunning, including slowed down motion of flying bats as well as bats
catching insects, sucking nectar, etc., and its all in beautifully
photographed 3-D.
