Yuma myotis emerges when it is almost dark and forages for insects over streams and ponds. This bat is gray, tan or brown; it lives in a variety of habitats.

Large numbers of female bats gather together in May or June to have their young. In autumn, they migrate.

Yuma myotis is found throughout the state and is associated more closely with water than any other North American species of bat.
