The Egyptian tomb bat (Taphozous perforatus) is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae.[1] It is a medium- to large-sized microbat with a mass of approximately 30 g (1.1 oz).[5] It is an aerial insectivore, foraging in open space.[5] Based on individuals captured in Ethiopia, it is thought to feed predominantly on Lepidoptera, but is also known to feed on Isoptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera.[5]
