[1] Newly molted individuals of the species are gray in color, but eventually turn orange, lost probably due to the presence of ammonia in roosts.

[3] The bat seems to hunt by detecting the fluttering of wings by moths to decide whether to attack.

If a moth was not fluttering its wings, or stopped during an attack, the bat would terminate its approach.

The bat may be locally threatened in some areas due to habitat loss and subsistence hunting.

The bat is not protected by any laws, but is known to exist in the Manga Forest Reserve of Tanzania.
