It is hard to guess what a Hinde’s lesser house bat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Hinde’s lesser house bat (Scotoecus hindei) on average weights 10 grams (0.02 lbs).

The Hinde’s lesser house bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Scotoecus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 55.7 cm (1′ 10″).
