Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus
A small pipistrelle microbat whose very large range extends across most of Europe, North Africa, South-Central Asia, from the British Isles possibly to Korea. The common pipistrelle is an edge specialist, preferring to forage along woodland edges and along isolated tree lines. It is insectivorous, preying on flies, caddisflies, lacewings, mayflies, and moths. Mosquitoes, midges, and gnats are particularly favored prey items.
