Description
A small and abundant bat, the evening bat rarely enters caves and is mostly found in urban environments. It is believed that the species migrates to the south, but it's known as a relatively slow flier. In many localities, it is considered threatened or endangered due to the fungal disease known as “white-nose syndrome.” It feeds on insects, particularly beetles, regulating insect populations.
