Kuhl's pipistrelle is a vesper bat with dark brown to yellowish fur and black or dark brown wings, some animals having a white stripe on the wing edges. The body is 40–55 mm long with a 30–45 mm tail, the wingspan 210–230 mm, and it weighs about 5–10 g. It occurs from sea level to about 2,000 m and catches prey in flight, scooping it up in its wings or tail membrane (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is a generalist insectivore with a diet that varies widely by individual and location, and it sometimes takes small amounts of fruit. It typically hunts near other Kuhl's pipistrelles, and males give mating calls, often in large groups, that are different from their echolocation calls. The cached account places it in North Africa, southern Europe and West Asia and gives nothing specific to India (Wikipedia, general species account).
