Lasiurus ega (Yellow Bat): Narrative
Bats of the genus Lasiurus generally occur in wooded areas and roost in foliage. Occasionally these bats roost in tree holes or buildings. In the U.S. L. ega is associated with introduced palms, which is thought to be a reason for its recent expansion northward. [eng] |

Seminole Bat (Lasiurus seminolus)
The distribution of Seminole bats seems to be closely associated with the distribution of Spanish moss, the clumps of which provide roosting sites. The adult bats are solitary and roosts are usually occupied by a single individual, or a female with young. [eng] |

Southern Yellow Bat (Lasiurus ega)
Like other members of the genus Lasiurus, southern yellow bats are associated with trees which can provide them with daytime roosting sites. In the vicinity of Brownsville, numbers of them inhabit a natural grove of palm trees (Sabal texana). [eng] |

Lasiurus cinereus (Hoary Bat): Narrative
Authorities disagree as to the bat's preference for coniferous versus broadleaf trees. Hoary bats are thought to prefer trees at the edge of clearings, but have been found in trees in heavy forests, open wooded glades, and shade trees along urban streets and in city parks. [eng] |

Lasiurus: Hairy-tailed Bats
These bats generally occur in wooded areas and roost in foliage, or occasionally in tree holes and buildings. The distribution of L. seminolus nearly coincides with that of Spanish moss, within clumps of which it roosts for most of the year. Hairy-tailed bats usually appear early in the evening. Feeding flights are usually 6-15 meters above the ground. Most insects are captured in flight, but L. borealis will alight on vegetation to pick off insects. [eng] |
