The Painted Bat (Kerivoula Picta) is known for it's stunning bright orange or scarlet coloration broken by patterned patches of black. Their wings appear as if they have been hand painted, which is where they derive their name. They use the intricate bright and broken coloration as a form of camouflage for protection. The Painted Bat is a species of vesper bat found in China, Indonesia, Nepal and Malaysia in arid woodlands. Painted Bats are often found in unlikely roosts such as suspended nests of birds and under the eaves of huts. Painted bats use sonar to catch insects at night and are known to be fairly rare. Their hunting flights usually last one or two hours. They have a nuclear family unit, meaning a mother, father, and their young. Please keep in mind that these are natural specimens, so variations are to be expected. These specimens come with a hanging bar and string for hanging purposes that can be removed.
