The small bent-winged bat is a compact Miniopterus whose elongated finger bones create the characteristic folded appearance of the wing when at rest. It ranges across South and Southeast Asia and reaches southern China. Colonies occupy caves and tunnels, emerging after dark to catch small flying insects in fast flight above forest and neighbouring open country. (Wikipedia, general species account)
