Gyokusendo Cave

Okinawa least horseshoe bat Observation Meeting (Gyokusendo Cave) August 17, 2024

Okinawa least horseshoe bat and others in Okinawa do not hibernate.
What's the food?

Professor T explains how Okinawa least horseshoe bat can catch insects.

What T-sensei has on his right hand is a specimen of a corn beetle.
According to the teacher, there is a beetle that occurs in Okinawa around January in winter, and sometimes such insects are eaten, and small insects can occur on a warm winter night. He seems to be eating something.

What T-sensei is doing is mosquito scrolls.
Okinawa least horseshoe bat eats more than 500 mosquitoes a night. Mosquito stamps are pressed as many as that number.

Summer is when there is a lot of food for Okinawa least horseshoe bat. Unless it is stormy weather, I go out to the forest every night to hunt. It is thought that you eat about half of your weight in one night.
You can also fly and feces, so you may actually eat more.

The junction between the main cave and the branch (pink lighting part).

At sunset, the Okinawa least horseshoe bat and others jump out of the cave toward the exit of Gyokusendo Cave.
When you turn the bat detector to the junction of such a branch, you can hear Okinawa least horseshoe bat's voice.

This time, many children also drew their impressions (books)!

Okinawa least horseshoe bat is a long-lived mammal, and Okinawa least horseshoe bat, who has lived for about 50 years, seems to have been confirmed.
I sleep well, fly well, and eat well.
If you follow Okinawa least horseshoe bat's lifestyle, you may live longer.
