Lavia frons
The yellow-winged false vampire is a bat with bright yellow wings and very large ears. It lives in Africa, is active at night, and hunts insects.
The yellow-winged false vampire differs from related species by its bright yellow wings and large ears. It is beneficial for nature because it destroys many pest insects.
