Geocache Description:


The Cape Serotine bat has a total length 8-9cm - wing span about 24cm. The colour is variable from dark to light greyish-brown - underparts whitish or buffy-white. Wing membranes are blackish-brown.

They live in small groups of two or three huddled under the barks of trees or under roofs of buildings. Their flight is rather slow and fluttering - jinking and turning in search of flying insects. Food items include beetles, lacewings, moths, mosquitoes, plant-sucking bugs and a variety of other flying insects.

Being unobtrusive, their presence is mostly unnoticed. They will readily occupy a bat house.

Follow the instructions for Klipspringer to proceed.
