Details
This species is endemic to China, and because of its small size, it will be clustered, and is a typical group of nocturnal animals. Use constant frequency echolocation sound waves to detect prey in the environment.
The bats live deep in caves in single or small groups, often hanging upside down by hooking their feet through cracks in the rock. When there is a sound, the two ear shells slightly turn the sweep set sound, and the flashlight is not alarmed, once the sound is emitted, it immediately takes off, and the takeoff time is not long.
This bat is small in number and feeds on insects, which has certain benefits for agriculture.
Location
It is widely distributed in tunnels and caves in Taiwan, China.
