	Bumblebee Bat - Biocrawler
		The Bumblebee Bat or perhaps more correctly Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat, (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) is the worlds smallest species of bat at 29-33 mm in length and a weight of 2 grams (about as much as a dime).
		The bat is named a Bumblebee Bat because it is about the size of a bumblebee.
		Bumblebee Bats roost in the hot upper chambers of caves in limestone hills, just about as far away from the entrance so that the small colony — up to 15 individuals — can fit without the bats being too close to each other.
