caves, and under rock overhangs. They prefer to roost in larger caves and display significant fidelity to roosting caves. On Aguigan, they began to emerge in twilight conditions around sunset and had fully emerged 15 minutes after sunset. Emerging bats immediately moved to shaded understories in evergreen forests where they forage early in the evening, and they often moved above forest canopies after dark. Flight is slow and fluttery.

Roosting populations on Aguigan in 2008 ranged from one to 332 individuals, based on emergence counts. One cave consistentiy held the largest colony of c.300-332 individuals, and six other roost caves had one to 64 individuals.

War II negatively impacted caves and probably had severe impact on the decline of the Pacific Sheath-tailed Bat in the Marianas. Use of pesticides and disturbance of roost caves also are attributing to declines.
