In Maine, there are two types of bats that commonly roost inside of homes, the little brown bat and the big brown bat.
There are eight species of bats that occur in Maine. Five species stay in Maine year round by hibernating during the cold months. The locations they stay in, called a hibernacula, are usually abandoned mines or caves. Occasionally, bats are found inside buildings.
The 5 species are: Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus), Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus), Little Brown Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), Eastern Small Footed Bat (Myotis leibii), Tri-colored bat (Pipistrellus subflavus)
Three of the eight species are called ‘tree bats’ and will migrate south for the winter. They are: Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), Silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans), Eastern Red bat (Lasiurus borealis).
