|
| Velvety free-tailed bat (Molossus molossus tropidorhynchu) eats insects and is found on Cuba, Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac. Common in roof spaces, they will use bat houses. This bat emerges at dusk. It may be our most important species because it is so numerous it has enormous impact upon insect populations. We hope to never find out what would happen here without this bat! Common |
