The complete county distribution, spread across 6 Nebraska counties. Every occurrence record falls in one county, so these sum to the total. Counties from GBIF and US Census boundaries.

Nebraska has just 9 tricolored bat records since 2000, 8 carried by GBIF and 3 by iNaturalist, and the species’ NatureServe S3 vulnerable rank, matching G3 global rank, and IUCN Vulnerable status all point to the same story: white-nose syndrome has hit this bat hard across its range since the disease began spreading.

July holds 4 of the state’s 9 records and no other month more than 2, a summer lean too slight on so few records to say much about when these bats are active in Nebraska.
