This series of your is so captivating.
I am so impressed with your ability to catch these full winged images and to light them correctly.
Are you using a camera trap? If so, what brand? Would you mind divulging how many flashes you are using, as I would like to do this type of work with bats during my upcoming trip to costa rica.

I have two flash setup both are off camera and triggered remotely, lighting position is based on which angle and what type of image I want to get. Since I only have two 600 EX flashes, positioning of those flashes are critical. My friend Mark has been watching this nest since they start sitting, so learning their behavior and how and when they deliver at what interval are crucial and will play in higher rate of success in getting the shots. This pair has been nesting at the same nest box for two years now, they are in a urban neighborhood, they are used to people around. They start feeding shortly after dusk.
As for settings, I usually shoot at 1/250, f/16, ISO1600, with 1Dx that I had last year, I shot as high as ISO3200, then I can lower the flash output. Hope this helps.
