Evening bats carry a NatureServe S5 secure rank in Louisiana, and the record leans overwhelmingly on GBIF specimen data, 113 of the state’s 130 records, since colonial bat surveys, not casual photographs, document most of what’s known about this species here.
February is the busiest month, with 26 records, followed by 19 in March, and the count rises again to 16 in June and 19 in July, the maternity-colony season when females roost together in large numbers and survey teams count pups and adults at known roost sites; a smaller October bump of 15 may mark fall dispersal, and December has none. With Grant Parish alone holding 59 records, a handful of surveys likely shape that calendar.
