Waterhouse's leaf-nosed bat
Waterhouse's leaf-nosed bat (''Macrotus waterhousii'') is a species of big-eared bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, with a range from Sonora to Hidalgo Mexico, south to Guatemala and the Greater Antilles (excluding Puerto Rico) and Bahamas.〔
==Behavior==
This species roosts primarily in caves, but also in mines and buildings. The species is insectivorous, primarily consuming insects of the order Lepidoptera and Orthoptera.〔Murray, Kevin L., Theodore H. Fleming, Michael S. Gaines, and Dean A. Williams. "Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci for Two Species of Phyllostomid Bats from the Greater Antilles (''Erophylla Sezekorni'' and ''Macrotus Waterhousii'')." Molecular Ecology Resources 8 (2008): 596-98. Print.〕
''M. waterhousii'' does not require complete darkness in its roosting place, and can often be found near the entrance of a cave (with in 10-30 meters), or even partially lit buildings. 〔http://www.science.smith.edu/msi/〕 It is possible to find this species in groups, but not as common as other bats; they are almost never in direct contact with one another. 〔http://www.science.smith.edu/msi/〕 They typically leave their roost about 30 minutes after sundown. 〔http://www.science.smith.edu/msi/〕
