Origin

Habitat

The species is typical of the basal floor and medianies, especially in areas where there are ravines, slopes and coastal cliffs. Frequent crops, and often penetrates towns and cities. It nests in cracks or volcanic tubes, usually in ravine walls, but also in picon extractions and in abandoned houses. Probably performs dispersive movements of several kilometers. It is possible that they move between the islands. (Martín & Lorenzo, 2001)
