Hi, can someone tell me which Rhinolophus sp thism is? At the area R euryale, ferrumequinum and hipposideros are recorded. It was quite big, bigger than the R hipposideros specimens in the same cave.

I am inclined towards R. hipposideros but a more lateral view of the nose would be better.

Thanks, I read in FaunaHungariae that batflies are uncommon on these kind of bats. In this certain cave I have found 2 dead specimens of batflies: one in February 2009 and one in November 2009, both almost at the same place! And I found a living one that fell on my arm in July. As watching the sleeping Rhinolophus bats in Winter, I could not spot any flies or mites on them (some bats were really close to me but still no sigs of parasites). |
