Little brown bat

The Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus) is a small, nocturnal mammal found in North America. It has a compact body, typically about 3-4 inches long, with brown fur and a wingspan of around 10-11 inches. This bat is an insectivore, feeding mainly on night-flying insects like moths and beetles. It plays a vital role in controlling insect populations and maintaining ecological balance. Little Brown Bats roost in tree cavities, buildings, and bat boxes during the day, emerging at dusk to hunt. They are sensitive to environmental changes and have been impacted by threats such as habitat loss and white-nose syndrome.
