The Pygmy Round-Eared Bat (Lophostoma brasiliense) averages 10 grams (0.3 oz) in weight. It is primarily an insectivore, including cockroaches and bush-crickets in its diet. As is the case with most of Trinidad's bat species, this one does not roost in caves. Instead, male Pygmy Round-Eared Bats are known to bite holes in the hard outer casings of arboreal termite nests until a cavity is formed where this species roosts during the daytime. (Trinibats)
