Habitat. A variety of forest habitats at elevations of 200-1370 m , ranging from mature primary forests to disturbed forests. Food and Feeding. The Least Horseshoe Bat probably forages for insects by perchhunting; it has been observed foraging among clumps of bamboo and small limestone boulders. Five fecal samples in Beijing consisted of Diptera (45% by volume), Lepidoptera (42%), and Coleoptera (13%). Breeding. Very little is known about its breeding biology, but pregnant females were captured in mid-May, and lactating females in mid-June in Guangxi . Activity patterns. Least Horseshoe Bats usually roost in caves by day, although roosts have also been recorded in the roofs of bungalows. They emerge from their day roosts to forage through the night, and have been observed leaving their roosts in early evening (18:00 h) in Myanmar , dispersing by 18:30 h. Search call shape is FM/CF/FM, with a peak F of 105-2-109-7 kHz in Beijing and 111-2 kHz in Guangxi, 108-9-114-1 kHz in Cambodia (start frequencies of 95—111 kHz and end frequencies of 95-105 kHz), and 92-5 kHz in Peninsular Malaysia ; and a call duration of 20—50 milliseconds (mean of 40 milliseconds) in China and 14-7-34-1 milliseconds in Cambodia (interpulse interval of 18-2-38-6 milliseconds). Movements, Home range and Social organization. Day roosts vary from a few individuals to thousands. In north-western Thailand , Least Horseshoe Bats were observed roosting in clusters of 55-1500 individuals in a cave.
