Myotis septentrionalis
Insectivore. This species has "spear-like" tragus in contrast to the "clubbed" tragus of similar myotis species (little brown, Indiana).
Maternity colonies are formed under exfoliating tree bark and tree cavities during the summer. During the winter these bats will exhibit torpor in the depths of caves.
This species is currently experiencing mass mortalities in North America due to white nose syndrome: http://www.batcon.org/index.php/what-we-...
