| Description: | Eisenberg categories 7 and 8 are combined as Insectivores Category 7 includes species that feed on arthropods but also take winged insects and thus themselves must be capable of flight; in short aerial insectivores of the order Chiroptera. Category 8 includes species that feed on insects by flying to particular areas and gleaning them from the undersides of leaves or from bark; these are the bats, members of the order Chiroptera, that Wilson (1973) has termed foliage gleaners. |
