White-lined Bat
We caught this beautiful frugivorous bat in our Harp trap in Sept. 2017 at Reserva Don Luis. Â It is adapted to hunt in cluttered environments therefore has wide curved wings to give it the lift it needs.
This is a medium/large stunning bat of around 25g from the family Phyllostomidae. It has white facial stripes and a dorsal stripe that runs from its crown to the base of the tail.
It roosts in holes in trees or in buildings. Â We have come across this species in a garage and in an abandoned building in groups of between 4 & 6.
