National Museum of Natural History: American Mammals: Evening Bat

Curated by ACT

Evening bats that roost together seem to share information about the location of rich foraging patches and alternative roosting sites. When they forage on farms, they are a boon to farmers, because the bats eat cucumber beetles (the adult stage in the life of the southern corn rootworm). Learn more about the Nycticeius humeralis, more commonly known as an Evening Bat, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
