ACCEPT THE LOVE CONFESSION FROM CROWBEEHELL >:C

This seems like a pretty silly thing to say to someone I've known for a long time so I don't know why I feel a sense of obligation to respond to it

[albertabats]

Pipistrello is the Italian word for "bat"! This guy looks surprised about that! With over 1400 species all around the world, there are many names for our chiropteran friends but by any other name they would be just as sweet!

today's dracula daily had me wondering what kind of bat dracula might be posing as, so I looked up a few things.

Largest species in the British Isles: Noctule Bat (Nyctalus noctula) with a wingspan of 32-40cm (12.6 to 15.7 inches) Another large bat species: Serotine Bat (Eptesicus serotinus) with a wingspan of 32-38cm (12.6 to 15.0 inches), less common species found in southern England and Wales Most common: Soprano Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) with a wingspan of 19-23cm (7.5 to 9.1 inches) Second Most common: the visually nearly identical (though slightly bigger) Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) with a wingspan up to 20cm (7.9 inches)

source for above: woodland trust

Now those would be the bats that Mina considers normal sized. Now bats certainly range much larger, such as the golden crowned flying fox with a wingspan of five feet. But I don't think we need to look so far from England for a bat that Dracula might turn into that Mina perhaps would view as "giant"

the largest species in mainland Europe is the greater noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus), with a wingspan up to 46cm (18 in). The greater noctule bat is also one of the few bats known to eat passerine birds*, and the only species that hunts them on the wing (in flight) versus while roosting*.

It's rare in Romania, but it's there. And it looks incredibly adorable

image description: a chocolate brown bat with a silver band on one wing upside down on what appears to be either rock or wood, it is hard to tell for sure. The bat has its mouth open, displaying its teeth, including its pointy fangs. image source: wikipedia

*Aka perching birds. Think sparrows, songbirds, corvids. Passerines are a very diverse group of birds. *There may be another species of bat that also does this, the Great evening bat (Ia io) of eastern and southeastern Asia.

[rate-every-bat]

Hi! I'm currently helping to rehab this little guy and was wondering if you'd like to rate him (or the species in general, but also him if you like) Common Pippistrelle

Hello, little one! Best of luck to you in your rehabilitation efforts! (If you happen to be part of a rescue, I'd be happy to post about them!)

Today's Bat: Common Pipistrelle

Environmental Impact: I don't think I've ever met a less discerning bat. The range on these guys spreads across most of Europe, into Morocco, and even out to western Asia. They'll roost just about anywhere, changing location from nursery to nursery and season to season. Limestone caves, park trees, siding panels? Pipistrellus pipistrellus calls that free real estate. Interestingly, they do seem to form habits despite their widespread nature. Individuals will continually hunt in the same areas, especially around lakes, ponds, gardens, and parks. Additionally, their migratory range is a tight 100km (about 62 miles). If you hate mosquitoes and other common pest insects, you'll love this species' efficiency and indiscriminate nature.

🦇🦇🦇/5

Beauty: Just look at that little fella. Classic brown coat, dark wing membranes, and the sweetest little snoot you ever saw. If you don't love the Common Pipistrelle on looks alone, I'm afraid your condition is terminal.

🦇🦇🦇🦇/5

Power: Aside from the classics (delayed fertilization, extreme adaptability), I learned something sweet about the Common Pipistrelle. Mating season is largely kept to autumn, during which time males will perform specific mating rituals for females. A beautiful song and swooping dance would certainly capture my heart!

🦇🦇🦇/5

Overall: Thank you for sharing this little friend with us all. My own personal experience with the Common Pipistrelle had me partial to them, so it was fun to learn a little more!

Finally sharing this beautiful project, I'm thankful i got to do some illustrations for it ! Many thanks to Elise Sivault for trusting me with this 🦇 See the other poster here ! more details about the project under the cut !

Papua New Guinea is a biodiversity hotspot home to 95 species of bats that are increasingly threatened by fragmentation because of commercial logging and agricultural practices. The primary objective of this project was to enhance our comprehension of the ecology of various understudied bat species native to Papua New Guinea. Additionally, it aimed to shed light on the pivotal role these bats play in providing essential ecosystem services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control within two designated conservation areas.

Such endeavors have the potential to significantly increase conservation efforts in this biodiversity hotspot, where scientific studies are scarce and the knowledge of species remains limited among the local communities residing in the towns and villages adjoining the two conservation areas.

AUGUST 19TH

I caught my bat friend on camera!

so I was trying to get some pictures and videos of the moon tonight as it looked really aesthetic and...

He's very small and fast but I got the lil guy on film!

Also here's the moon pics for those who are curious

Common pipistrelle

Scientific name: Pipistrellus pipistrellus

The common pipistrelle is so small, it can fit into a matchbox! Despite its size, it can easily eat 3,000 insects a night: look for it flitting around the garden or a lit lamp post as it chases its prey.

5 Mother's Day bat Facts!

Ft. Everyone's Favourite : Pipistrellus Pipistrellus

Bats have 1 Pup per Pregnancy, Sometimes 2 , But this is exceptionally rare 2. Bats can CHOOSE when to become a Mother, due to unique anatomical structuring 3. A Mother bat can find Her specific child in a nursery Colony of up to Thousands of Bats. 4. Baby bats ' Babble' , to themselves, to Their mothers, to their neighbors, and To humans, when in care! 5. Mother bats Carry Their babies along their Hunting and Foraging routes to teach them where to go, and encourage them to explore themselves!

[transgender-chiroptera]

Happy pride month, the best thing about living in the UK is that every one of our bat species have been observed engaging in homosexual behaviour of some variety.

But it's not just them! You might be surprised at just how many bats are gay, both male/male AND female/female, with a lot of bats displaying behaviour that favours both male and female partners! This behaviour has been observed in the wild in Pteropus, Pipistrellus, Myotis, Nyctalus, Plecotus, Rhinolophus, and more! As well as in captivity in Desmodus! The exact behaviours vary between species, but include allogrooming, fellatio, mounting, and even inter-species homosexual sex!
