Indonesian - Dyacopterus spadiceus – The Indonesian bat is a predominantly fruit eating bat which results in a more phosphorous driven guano offering the gardener a sweet end product.  The fruits consumed are figs, guava, lychee, banana, dates and chickoo.  The high phosphorous indicates that the guano was harvest from the bottom of the pile.   And Also due to the amount of rainfall in the tropics the water drains guanos of their nitrates. 

Jamaican - Artibeus jamaicensis – The Jamaican bat feeds predominantly on mangoes, avocado’s, and figs.  The high phosphorous count is an indication that it comes from the bottom of the pile.  Also because of the high rainfall rate the nitrates are drained out.

Mexican – Mexican Free Tailed Bat – This is a more nitrogen rich guano because the diet consists of ants, beetles, dragon flies, wasps, beetles, and ants.  Plus the guano is harvest from the top of the pile.  With the Mexican region being more dry in climate the nitrates do not get leached out. 

Peruvian – seabird guano – They have a diverse range of foods because of their ability to feed on marine life as well as land insects.  This is the reason why you see a high N and P. 

All guanos that have the sunleaves label on it are required by the company to undergo certain criteria to harvest and package the guano.  Masks are required when workers are handling the product.
