Pallid bats are amazingly cool critters, and they (and all bats) deserve our admiration and attention!

Love the pallid bat! Forages over rangeland and ag lands, vineyards and orchards in "flocks". Sits on ground sometimes munching on its dinner while you watch.

Bats control insects without using harmful pesticides which kill other beneficial insects.

Pallid Bats are an integral part of our ecosystem, and having them as our state bat would help bring awareness to this awesome, yet often misunderstood creature!

Bats are the best! Having a state bat will enable better public outreach about these important parts of nature's web.

Not only an attractive and economically important bat, it is also well distributed in the state, and a very attractive bat.

Every State should have a State Bat and work to preserve bat-friendly habitats
