Tricolored bats carry 422 documented records in Florida, all logged through GBIF instead of iNaturalist, more typical of cave-survey and specimen data than casual sightings. The state ranks the species S2, Imperiled, a step more concerning than its G3, Vulnerable, rank worldwide.
Monthly counts actually peak in June, with August running second highest; both months roughly double the totals seen in February or September. That summer pattern likely tracks when survey effort is highest, and it doesn’t necessarily mean the bats themselves are most active then.
