Habitat:
This species is insectivorous; it eats a variety of insects (Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Diptera and Neuroptera). During the dry season it utilizes water sources with open access and a large available surface area from which to drink. It leaves its roosts after dark and is usually not taken in mistnets until two or three hours after sunset. It roosts in caves, rock crevices in cliff faces and man-made structures. Colonies usually number fewer than 100 individuals. It gives birth to only one young per year, usually in early July, and the young are flying in mid to late August (Wilson and Ruff 1999).
Range:
This species occurs from Guerrero (Mexico) to New Mexico, Arizona, California (USA) and Baja California (Mexico; Simmons 2005). It occurs from lowlands to 2,250 m asl (Wilson and Ruff 1999).
Conservation:
It is found in several protected areas in its range.
