These bats play a crucial ecological role by consuming large quantities of insects nightly, which helps control pest populations. The Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin is famously known as the seasonal home to one of these colonies, making the bat a celebrated local wildlife icon and a tourist attraction, underscoring the city’s engagement with its natural environment.
