Energy requirements of lactating Myotis lucifugus and Plecotus auritus and the corresponding food intake rates and weight of arthropods needed to cover the energy demand of the bats. The food intake rate used in the calculations is highlighted in bold

Myotis lucifugus Average weight lactating bat: 7.9 g Energy requirement: 41.3 kJ/day per bat		Plecotus auritus Average weight lactating bat: 9.72 g Energy requirement: 45.3 kJ/day per bat
FIR/bw (arthropods required/average bat weight) FIR calculated according to EFSA 2009, Appendix G	Arthropods (g) (wet weight)	FIR/bw (arthropods required/average bat weight) FIR calculated according to EFSA 2009, Appendix G	Arthropods (g) (wet weight)
0.848	6.702	0.756	7.352

FIR: food intake rate; bw: body weight.
