The Hoary bat is a widespread larger insectivorous bat species with stunning red fur and with white frosty tips. A thick fur covers the tip of its tail to just beyond the wrists and along the undersides of its wings. During the day, they are inactive, hiding within trees, snags, and perched in trees, although they may be found convalescing in caves with other bat species. Due to their colouration, they can seamlessly blend with trees, perfectly camouflaged. Their primary diet is composed of moths and dragonflies, and they can be seen swooping and diving for insects during the night. Typically the bats leave their roosts soon after dusk. They often have two foraging periods, one in the early evening and another an hour before sunrise. In terms of the lifestyle, the Hoary Bat is generally a solitary creature. However, they do form family groups, which is composed of the and her young.
