Lasiurus borealis
Lasiurus borealis, commonly known as the eastern red bat, is a species of bat found primarily in North America. It is characterized by its reddish-brown fur, which helps it blend into its surroundings. This bat typically roosts in trees and is known for its ability to fly swiftly, making it an effective insect hunter.
The eastern red bat primarily feeds on moths, beetles, and other flying insects. It is a solitary creature, often seen foraging alone at dusk and dawn. During the winter months, Lasiurus borealis migrates to warmer areas, seeking shelter in leaf litter or tree cavities to hibernate.
