Diet also contained, albeit in smaller proportions, hymenopterans, small beetles, and especially caddisflies and mayflies, suggesting preference for riverine hunting habitats. Echolocation and wing morphology characteristics classify Le Sueur’s Wing-gland Bat among typical clutter-edge foragers, hunting close to vegetation. In highlands of
