Hi, like i have say in a previous post, last week i have been involved in some bat study. after a visit in one cave found this on me (see attached photo). from what i know is from Nycteribiidae family. some details: the host was probably (before me  ) Miniopterus schreibersii. in that cave was a very big colony of them (~4000 exemplary) but this is just a presumtion (the total number estimated was somewhere at 7000 exemplary).maybe an identification can be possible? thanks in advance, cosmln cosmln attached the following image:  [104.36Kb] |

Terrific ! Miniopterus is great for Nycteribiidae. Identification only possibly with specimen 'in hand'. So did you collect some ? Theo |

You can submit any picture you think should be in the gallery. A quick peek will learn if a species is present or not and if your images are better tahn existing ones. yes,... I do ditch the occasional image for a better one. Does not happen often, though.

Well, first impression is that of Penicillidia. This one is big, that is, for the Nycteribiidae. And several Nycteribiidae (like Basilia) do have 'eyes' , that is, facets. Theo |
