Little-brown bats inhabit diverse landscapes across North America, ranging from Alaska to central Mexico. These nocturnal mammals hunt using sophisticated echolocation to track and catch thousands of insects like mosquitoes and gnats every single night.

Unlike their larger fruit-eating cousins, they rely on sound waves to navigate tight spaces and find prey in total darkness.

During the summer months, they roost in trees or attics, while winter drives them into deep caves for hibernation. These small creatures provide a massive service to farmers by protecting crops from pests without the use of chemicals.
