The LIFE Podkowiec+ project protects three species: Lesser horseshoe, Geoffroy’s and Greater mouse-eared bats. All of them eat small invertebrates, mainly insects, but also non-flying animals, which they must be able to take from the surface of leaves, twigs, grass or soil. All three species catch spiders.

The largest of the three bat species specialised in hunting on beetles, especially Carabid beetles, which rarely fly, crickets and even completely flightless (as being wingless) centipedes.

The question is: how the Greater mouse-eared bat detects its prey?

We wait for the answers till end of September, and the proper answers can win a LIFE Podkowiec+ project T-shirt.
