1. Microbat

   Microbats constitute the suborder Microchiroptera within the order Chiroptera (bats). Bats have long been differentiated into Megachiroptera (megabats) and Microchiroptera, based on their size, the use of echolocation by the Microchiroptera and other features; molecular evidence suggests a somewhat different subdivision, as the microbats have been shown to be a paraphyletic group.

1. microbat

   A microbat is a type of bat belonging to the suborder Microchiroptera, also known as echolocating bats. They are small in size, hence the name, and are characterized by their ability to echolocate, a system they use to navigate and find prey. Unlike larger fruit bats of the Megachiroptera suborder, microbats feed primarily on insects and other small animals. They are most commonly found in temperate and tropical regions.

1. Microbat

   The microbats constitute the suborder Microchiroptera within the order Chiroptera. They are most often referred to by their scientific name. Other English names are "insectivorous bats", "echolocating bats", "small bats" or "true bats". All these names are somewhat inaccurate, because not all microbats feed on insects, and some of them are larger than small megabats. The distinctions between microbats and megabats are: ⁕Microbats use echolocation, whereas megabats do not typically. ⁕Microbats lack the claw at the second toe of the forelimb. ⁕The ears of microbats do not close to form a ring: the edges are separated from each other at the base of the ear. ⁕Microbats lack underfur; they have only guard hairs, or are naked. Most microbats feed on insects. Some of the larger species hunt birds, lizards, frogs or even fish. Microbats that feed on the blood of large mammals exist in the Americas south of the United States. Microbats are 4 to 16 cm long. Leaf-Nosed Microbats are also known to be fruit and nectar-eating. Three species of Leaf-Nosed Bats follow the bloom of columnar cacti in Northwest Mexico and Southwest United States northward in the spring and then the blooming agaves southward in the fall.
