After prey is detected,it lands just above it and captures it with its mouth. After it captures a insects from a surface,it either consumesit in flight (if the prey is small) or hangs from a nearby perch (if the prey is large). It uses aerial hawking to hunt some insects (e.g. chafers). It can easily switch hunting strategy and habitat depending on insect availability. In fact,it always selects its hunting sites depending on higher density of suitable prey and better accessibility of ground-dwelling prey. When the Lesser

Maternity colonies can have up to several thousands of individuals, usually in caves, mines, or other underground roosts. Maternity colonies mainly have adult females and their offspring and only a few males; apparently these males are not the most reproductively successful because females prefer to mate with males from outside the colony that wait in small clusters and colonies nearby. Maternity colonies are placed in sites with temperatures of 30-34°C and are formed at the end of March and last until August. Females give birth in May—June (April in some Mediterranean countries), and after 6-8 weeks, young are fully independent. Locations of maternity colonies are strongly influenced by climate and parasite abundance in caves, and they might change from year to year. Most females become sexually active during the first and second year of life. Maximum longevity is up to 22 years in the wild.
