It is hard to guess what a Black-gilded pipistrelle weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Black-gilded pipistrelle (Pipistrellus circumdatus) on average weights 10 grams (0.02 lbs).
The Black-gilded pipistrelle is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Pipistrellus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12.18 meter (40′ 0″).
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
The black-gilded pipistrelle (Arielulus circumdatus), also known as the bronze sprite, is a species of vesper bat found in China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal.
