Mammalia Vespertilionidae, known commonly as the family of vesper bats or evening bats, represents a fascinating group of mammals that are part of the diverse fauna of the Comunidad Valenciana. These bats are distinguished by their varied sizes and adaptations that allow them to thrive in different habitats.

Key characteristics of Vespertilionidae include:

• Diverse Species: The Vespertilionidae family is one of the largest and most widespread bat families. It includes species such as the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) and the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis).
• Habitat: These bats can be found in a variety of environments, from urban areas to forests and caves, showcasing their adaptability.
• Diet: Vespertilionidae are insectivorous, feeding on a wide range of insects, which helps in controlling pest populations. Their echolocation ability allows them to hunt efficiently during the night.
