Insectivorous bats (ours are) are known to empty humming bird feeders at 
night in southern Arizona. My wife Doris tells me that on a birding trip to the 
Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona, where birders were provided 
with hummingbird feeders, they were cautioned to empty them at nightfall to 
prevent the bats from feeding. To be sure one should stay up at night 
watching the feeder. Even better have a camera with a flash. Check out the 
article, url cited below.
