[About Okinawa least horseshoe bat]

Okinawa least horseshoe bat

At solutional cave, the Okinawa least horseshoe bat is about the size of a ping-pong ball.
I'm eating small insects.

 What we often see at night in Okinawa is "Ohbat". It's a large Okinawa least horseshoe bat that takes about a meter when its wings spread out. The staple food is the nectar of fruits and flowers.
