The Massachusetts bats will require a significant amount of energy when doing their usual activities. Therefore, they will have to consume a lot of insects that will serve as their fuel. Once the temperature drops, there will also be a decline in the insect activities. Most bats will be forced to go through a state of torpor in order to conserve their body fat. However, there are also other bats that will choose to migrate.



The Groups of Migratory Boston Bats
Different bat species will migrate from their summer to their winter roosting ground. They are migrating to the place where there is an abundant supply of insects. There are also other that will move to look for a suitable habitat for the winter. Bats are also known to migrate when they are moving to a nursing colony.

Migration has been considered a fascinating behavior among animals. Nonetheless, human do not possess enough information behind this behavior. Understanding the behavior of the bat’s migration will not only help in comprehending the evolution of the bats but will also be important in determining the casualties caused by the wind turbines especially on the long-range clearance bats.

Whether they must move to raise their young or to a territory with a high insect infestation, bats are migrating to help them increase their rate of survival.
