Habitats: The Northern Myotis hibernates in natural caves, iron mines, sand mines and other abandoned mines. They primarily roost and inhabit forested regions, and riparian wooded zones. They will roost under loose bark, buildings, behind signs and shutters and in crevices. The females will roost in warm sites of around 30 individuals in maternity colonies.

Food Habits: The Northern Long-eared bat will hunt for insects over water, forest clearings and under the tree canopies. They glean insects from the leaves and other surfaces. They appear to especially like flies. They do eat moths, beetles and leafhoppers. As with most insectivorous bats they are still opportunistic eaters.

Problems: As with all bats, some of the problems are the same. Disturbances of the hibernaculum causes stress on the bats and in the winter can severally stress them to death. Retaining diverse wooded areas will help the bat population in general as well as the Northern Myotis. Education of the public would probably be the best single protection of all bats.
