However, as far as I know (but I am not a bat expert), bats species which use that method typically have specific adaptations for catching insects that way, and I would guess Rhamphorhynchus probably lacks equivalent adaptations.<br /><br />(There are other insectivorous bats who catch insects in other ways; some use their tail flap, others use their mouths directly, some use their feet. Unfortunately, websearching for particular methods falls afoul of the sad fact that english uses "on the wing" to mean "while flying", so searching for "bats catching insects with their wings" turns up tons of non-specific articles. )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960010235948258354.post-83709645493977323892021-03-24T14:16:18.794+01:002021-03-24T14:16:18.794+01:00I may have to acquire this.I may have to acquire this.Andreas Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08802392912541974977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960010235948258354.post-38311350647505937932021-03-10T11:05:39.288+01:002021-03-10T11:05:39.288+01:00Speaking of Homo erectus, I would love to see some...Speaking of Homo erectus, I would love to see some posts on outdated paleoanthropology books.
