New Bat Species for Corrientes

Tuesday, November 12, 2019

During a training/demonstration session at Isla Apipe in October we managed to capture a nectivorous species in our net. This is the first report of Glossophaga soricina in Corrientes. This individual flew into our net in the garden of the Ecolodge La Casona. This is exciting news.

This species feeds from the nectar of flowers that open at night such as some cacti and can hover much like a humming bird.
