Bats in a cave = Commuters in a new York subway car at rush hour = carousers in a trendy bar at 11.30pm. Definitely cheek-by-jowl. Or cheek by cheek, for that matter.

I did a fair amount of spelunking in my undergraduate days. While I occasionally encountered a solitary bat, most bats that I’m familiar with hang cheek to jowl in vast crowds. In caves, which you could fairly describe as “inside”. To answer BW: No, not suspicious at all.
The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Colbert has a chapter about an infection racing through bat populations in the US.
