Kuhl's pipistrelle

Kuhl's pipistrelle's fur is dark brown to yellowish, while the wings are black or dark brown. Some individuals have a white stripe at the wing edges. It has a body length of 40–55 mm (1.6–2.2 in) with a 30–45 mm (1.2–1.8 in) long tail, and it weighs around 5–10 g (0.18–0.35 oz). Its wingspan is 210–230 mm (8.3–9.1 in). It is slightly sexually dimorphic, with males larger than the females.

Kuhl's pipistrelle lives in a variety of habitats, including commonly in urban areas. It occurs from sea-level to an elevation of 2,000 m (6,600 ft). As it is common across a large and increasing range, it is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Kuhl's pipistrelle is a generalist insectivore, with a widely varying diet depending on the individual and location. In some cases, it may also feed on small amounts of fruit. It feeds by catching its prey in flight by scooping them up in its wings or tail membrane. It typically hunts near other Kuhl's pipistrelles. To attract females, males will emit mating calls distinct from the normal echolocation calls, often in large groups.
