What kind of bats live in Minnesota?

Minnesota is home to several species of bats, including the Little Brown Bat, Big Brown Bat, and Northern Long-eared Bat. These bats are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of insects, and are most active during the warmer months. Some species, like the Little Brown Bat, have faced significant population declines due to white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease affecting hibernating bats. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and promote recovery.
