Spectral bat
The spectral bat, known scientifically as *Vespertilio murinus*, is a small species of bat found mainly in Europe and parts of Asia. It is characterized by its unique pale, ghostly fur, which helps it blend into its surroundings. Spectral bats are primarily nocturnal and use echolocation to navigate and hunt insects. They tend to roost in buildings, tree holes, and caves. These bats are important for controlling insect populations and contribute to the ecosystem's health. Their population trends are being monitored, as habitat loss and climate change pose threats to their survival.
