- Microbat abstract "The microbats constitute the suborder Microchiroptera within the order Chiroptera (bats). 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 (The Egyptian fruit bat Rousettus egyptiacus is an exception but does not use the larynx echolocation method of microbats, instead giving scientists the theory that it clicks using its nasal passages and back of its tongue). Microbats lack the claw at the second finger of the forelimb. This finger appears thinner and almost bonded by tissue with the third finger for extra support during flight. Megabats always lack a tail, whereas this trait only occurs in certain species of microbats. The ears of microbats possess a tragus (thought to be crucial in echolocation) and are respectively larger than megabat ears, whereas megabat ears are comparatively small and lack a tragus. Megabat eyes are quite large, whereas microbat eyes are comparatively smaller.Most microbats feed on insects. Some of the larger species hunt birds, lizards, frogs, smaller bats or even fish. The 3 species of microbats that feed on the blood of large mammals or birds (vampire bats) exist in the Americas south of the United States. Microbats are 4 to 16 cm long. Leaf-Nosed Microbat species are not all 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. Yet other leaf-nosed bats, such as Vampyrum spectrum of South America, hunt a variety of prey such as lizards and birds. The horseshoe bats of Europe, on the other hand, have an incredibly intricate leaf nose for echolocation and feed primarily on insects. Finally, the California leaf-nosed bat of North America is yet another insectivore to have this trait, as its name indicates. All of this lets us know that the term "leaf-nose," despite common fallacy, applies to a great variety of microbats and does in no way dictate the variety of diet a species with this trait prefers.".
