  • Regular price $92.00


The northern long-eared bat is about 3 to 3.7 inches long with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. It is distinguished by its long ears, particularly compared to other bats in its genus, Myotis. It emerges at dusk to fly primarily through the understory of forest areas, feeding mostly on moths, flies, leafhoppers, caddisflies and beetles. It catches these insects while in flight using echolocation or by using gleaning behavior, catching motionless insects from vegetation.

The northern long-eared bat is known to occur throughout much of New York State, including Oyster Bay in Nassau County and the entirety of Suffolk County.
