Pipistrelle bats eat small insects such as gnats, flies and moths, as well as aquatic insects. They may eat up to 3000 insects in a single night.
Pipistrelle bats in Arkanas can be found in caves in Devil's Den State Park and Withrow Springs State Park.
The Eastern Pipistrelle Bat
Pipistrelle bats typically have a fur coloration that ranges from light brown to dark brown, often with a slightly lighter underbelly. Their fur can appear somewhat glossy, and they may feature a mix of shades that help them blend into their surroundings. The exact hue can vary among different species of pipistrelle bats.
Madeira Pipistrelle was created in 1878.
Christmas Island Pipistrelle was created in 1900.
Scientific name: Pipistrellus pygmaeusThe Soprano Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) is a small bat. It was only formally separated from the Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus in 1999. The two species were first distinguished on the basis of their different-frequency echo-location calls. The Common Pipistrelle uses a call of 45 kHz, while the Soprano Pipistrelle echo-locates at 55 kHz. The two species are sometimes called the 45 kHz pipistrelle and the 55 kHz pipistrelle, or the bandit pipistrelle (common) and the brown pipistrelle(soprano). Since the two species were split, a number of other differences, in appearance, habitat and food, have also been discovered.Information taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soprano_Pipistrelle

Yes, pipistrelle bats are considered insectivores, which means they primarily feed on insects. They consume a variety of small flying insects such as moths, flies, and beetles. While they are not carnivores in the traditional sense of hunting larger animals, their diet consists entirely of animal matter in the form of insects.

The Tiny Pipistrelle
Pipistrelle bats, commonly found in Europe, are relatively small, typically measuring about 8 to 10 centimeters in body length with a wingspan of approximately 24 to 27 centimeters. They usually weigh between 3 to 8 grams. Their size, along with their distinctive features, makes them one of the more recognizable bat species in their range.
Yes, common pipistrelle bats do hibernate. They typically enter hibernation during the colder months, seeking out sheltered locations like caves, buildings, or tree hollows where they can conserve energy. During this period, their metabolism slows significantly, allowing them to survive on stored fat until warmer temperatures return.
