Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It roosts during the day in houses and buildings (Abe et al., 2005). It appears to be absent from montane areas and forests where there are no structures for roosts (Abe et al. 2005). It is often found feeding under lights in disturbed habitats. Its preference for disturbed habitats has made it difficult to establish its preference for non-anthropogenic habitats.
Systems: Terrestrial
