Little Forest Bats forage in upper levels of forest understory or in spaces between trees, and regularly come very close to foliage. They are highly maneuverable and do spirals and gliding arcs when changing direction to catch prey. They almost always catch prey while it is flying, presumably by aerial-hawking. Most prey is eaten on the wing, but larger prey may be taken to a feeding roost to be eaten. Diet is highly variable, based on abundance and diversity of prey in surrounding habitats; this can change over the seasons. A recent study found the species would changeits foraging habitat based on prey availability (particularly that of the mosquito

), using saltmarsh habitats when mosquito abundance was higher but foraging elsewhere when mosquito abundance was low. Little Forest Bats regularly feed on moths, true bugs, and beetles, which make up most of the diet in most areas, but they also take some flies, wasps, termites, ants, and cockroaches, and rarely spiders, grasshoppers, and lacewings.

|

Breeding occurs during autumn and also winter. Spermatogenesis occurs during summer, and males will continue to store sperm throughout winter, remaining reproductively active. Little Forest Bats will arouse from hibernation to mate. Females also store sperm in the uterus, which is aided by a copulatory plug that forms in the vagina after mating. However, sperm is sometimes lost in the female’s reproductive trap and matings during winter can ensure that it is replaced. During winter, a follicle is present but ovulation is delayed until spring. Litter size is usually one, occasionally two. Births occur in late November or December. Lactating females are commonly found during December and January. Young are left in the roost while the female forages. Volant young are caught foraging with the females by mid-January. Females become sexually mature in their first year, males in their second. In southern

Little Forest Bats leave their roosts at dusk to forage through the night. During winter, they hibernate in a torpid state, allowing them to leave hibernation to forage and breed. Their activity is highly dependent on ambient temperature, and during a cold spell they may not leave the roost to forage for weeks at a time. Males arouse from torpor more frequently than females, often to mate. The species roosts in narrow hollows in dead trees or dead branches of live trees, generally with several entrances; these are usually very small or narrow (only slightly larger than the bat itself). Call shape is FM/QCF andis variable across the distribution. There are three starkly different calls: south-eastern and central

Little Forest Bats may roost singly or in colonies of up to 120 individuals. Roosts are sexually segregated, although juveniles and occasional adult males can be found in female colonies. The bats typically do not change roosts very often, and may occupy the same roost throughout an entire year. They will travel up to 1-5 km from day roosts to forage at specific locations.
