The desert pipistrelle is a small, lightly built bat with pale fur. It roosts in rock crevices and hunts flying insects from dusk into the night.
Its fur ranges from pinkish brown and olive-buff to off-white. It has short, narrow ears with rounded tips and a distinctly concave forehead.
It is active from dusk to night and rests in rock crevices by day. In Saudi Arabia it forages near oases, water, and trees for beetles, moths, and other flying insects.
