Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) is hosting an interpretive program called the Spotted Bat on Tuesday, July 25th at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park.
Montana is host to 15 species of bats one of which you can hear echolocate. The spotted bat is one of the bats that migrate back to the cliff banks of MT during the summer months.
“The spotted bat have the reputation of being the moth specialist,” Said Park Ranger Derrick Rathe.
This interpretive program will take place at the campground amphitheater at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. It is a great chance to learn about the diversity of bats in Montana and what makes spotted bats so unique.
