This species is known from scattered localities in western North America and apparently is one of the more difficult bats to capture, leading to a perception that this bat is rare in the United States. In Colorado, the spotted bat is known by published records from the vicinity of Dinosaur National Monument, and from a number of places at lower elevations on the Western Slope, including the Four Corners area where pregnant or lactating females have been captured. Further, acoustic records show that distribution of this species in Colorado is relatively widespread. Similarly, this species may be more widespread across the United States than previously thought.spotted bat by Jeremy Siemers
