Ectophylla alba

Ectophylla alba, commonly known as the white tent-making bat, is a small bat found in Central America. It has distinctive white fur and yellowish ears. These bats are notable for their unique behavior of creating leaf tents by cutting and folding large leaves to roost safely during the day. They are insectivores, primarily feeding on insects, and live in tropical rainforests. Their specialized roosting habits help them stay protected from predators and harsh weather, making them an interesting example of adaptation in bat species.
