Appearance and behavior

The nose is a pointed cone shape and the rhinarium is black and naked.[1] It is insectivorous, feeding on a range of insects, but particularly beetles and lepidopterans.[2] Feeding is strongly dependent on the season, with much greater feeding activity occurring during the rainy season.[2] It lives in caverns in groups exceeding 50,000. Within colonies, the social structure consists of harems of around 20 females being attended usually by a single male. While female juveniles sometimes remain within the cluster into which they were born, young males disperse and join bachelor clusters.[2]
