“Small, rufous, and earless, the Serendib Scops Owl is quite unlike any other owl in Sri Lanka or anywhere else in the Indian subcontinent.”

“It comes round or oval, lidless and sometimes earless, most often with vertical sides, though in the round version the sides could slope to a small flat base.”

“We measured the total nocturnal flight time of 60 individual male moths representing seven species of eared moths and five species of earless moths.”
