Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus) (Palisot de Beauvois, 1796)

 

 

Eptesicus fuscus is found from central Canada to northern South America and also in the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Although the Big Brown Bat often roosts in hollow trees and beneath loose tree bark, it is often associated with man-made structures such as attics, barns, old buildings, and window shutters. This species is insectivorous, preying primarily on beetles, but moths and other flying insects are also taken. Big Brown Bats hibernate during the winter months, usually in natural caves or underground mines.
