Anthops ornatus
The ornate anthops is a small bat with large skin outgrowths on the face. It lives only on the Solomon Islands and hunts insects at night.
The ornate anthops differs from other bats by complex outgrowths on the face. It helps maintain balance in the forests of the Solomon Islands by eating insects.
