Few creatures symbolize the Halloween season like bats. With their nocturnal habits, strange appearance, and faces only their mothers can love, bats have a strong claim to being one of the creepier creatures in the wild.
Thanks to their unique wing design and small size, bats are among the most athletic and acrobatic creatures on the planet. In addition, that have their incredible radar-like echo-location skills to navigate forests and cities in complete darkness. This amazing design and talent allow them to do an enormous amount of good by consuming thousands of insects every night.
Here in Wisconsin, we are fortunate to have 8 species of insect-eating bats. The Little Brown, Big Brown, Northern Long Eared, and Tricolored bats all hibernate in caves, large hollow trees, chimneys, and other similar hideouts in Wisconsin. In contrast, the Evening, Silver-Haired, Eastern Red, and Hoary bats migrate to warmer climates, some as far as Mexico, to avoid the chill.
Regardless of their winter survival strategies, bats need to be attuned to the weather and changing seasons to be in the best position to survive and succeed. This radar-like ability to look to the future and anticipate changes has helped bats be successful in our challenging Wisconsin climate.
