Tricolored Bat

Also known as the Eastern Pipistrelle, this species is the most widely distributed New York cave bat species.

These bats prefer warm, moist caves with lots of space between each bat for their hibernation period.

They primarily forage along treetops.

During the summer months, Tricolored Bats like to live in open woods, near water, in rock crevices, or in the eaves of buildings.

Tricolored Bats average 9-inch wing spans with bodies smaller than 2 inches in length.
