The large myotis is a robust mouse-eared bat with brown fur, broad wings and comparatively large feet. It occurs in China and mainland Southeast Asia and commonly roosts in caves, tunnels or similar underground spaces. After dark it hunts large flying insects over forest edges, streams and cultivated landscapes, locating prey with echolocation. (Wikipedia, general species account)
