How much does a White-winged serotine weight?

It is hard to guess what a White-winged serotine weights. But we have the answer:

An adult White-winged serotine (Eptesicus tenuipinnis) on average weights 5 grams (0.01 lbs).

The White-winged serotine is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Eptesicus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 3.7 cm (0′ 2″).

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 white-winged serotine (Neoromicia tenuipinnis) is a species of vesper bat.It can be found in the following countries: Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda.It is found in these habitats: subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical mangrove forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and moist savanna.
