Kuhl's pipistrelle

Description

With a size of up to 4.7 cm, it is only slightly larger than its sister species, the common pipistrelle. Its wingspan is around 22 cm and it weighs 5-10 grams.

When the wings are open, it is easy to see that there is a 1-2 mm wide, light-coloured fringe between the last phalanx and the foot on both sides, which gave the Kuhl's pipistrelle its name.

Habitat

It inhabits forests and grasslands of temperate climates, but also rural gardens and urban areas.
