| 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 |
