Schneider’s leaf-nosed bat is a common insectivorous bat in lowlands and lower hills of the island. It roosts in
large colonies in caves and abandoned buildings during the day time and leaves
early in the evening to feed on flying beetles, mosquitoes, flies, termites and
such other low flying insects. It flies close to the ground among bushes and
trees and human dwellings (sometime entering verandas and even rooms to catch
small flying insects).
