These bats are a common sight in the skies of the southern United States, including Texas, where they play a crucial ecological role in controlling insect populations. Their presence in Austin is celebrated every summer when thousands of spectators gather to watch massive emergences of these bats from under the Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, creating a spectacular natural display.
