Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 3,037 meters (0 to 9,964 feet).[1]

Ecology: It forages in Mediterranean and sub-Mediterranean shrubland and woodland, feeding on moths and other insects. In Italy, preferred foraging habitats are broadleaved woodland and riparian vegetation; coniferous woodland is avoided, and shrubland is rarely used (Russo et al. 2002). Summer roosts are located in natural and artificial underground sites, as well as attics in some part of the range . In winter it hibernates in underground sites (usually large caves with a constant microclimate ). It is a sedentary species (the longest recorded distance travelled by an individual is 134 km ) (Heymer 1964 in Hutterer et al. 2005).[2].
