Popis:	Hairy Big-eared Bats, Micronycteris hirsuta, have been observed to occupy attics in buildings that are not well sealed. Stereotypically, prey is brought to the roosting site for consumption where wings and hard structures are discarded while soft body parts are ingested. This behavior has allowed our evaluation of their diet. At the Bosque Protector La Hesperia, of the western Andes in Ecuador, this species consumed primarily katydids (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) and soft beetles (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae).
