starts withIts range includes several islands of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It has been documented from 0–1,500 m (0–4,921 ft) above sea level.
It is nocturnal, roosting in sheltered places such as caves during the day. At night, it forages for its prey—insects—along forest streams, in dense forests, and in clearings.
It is currently evaluated as least concern by the IUCN. It meets the criteria for this assessment because it has a large range, its population is thought to be large, and because its population is not likely to be in rapid decline. Some populations may be threatened by overharvesting for bushmeat.
