Several studies have documented similarities in how foraging habitats are actually used by Indiana bats. Indiana bats in Indiana were foraging around the canopy, which was 7 to 98 feet (2–30 m) above ground. In Missouri, a female bat foraged 7 to 33 feet (2–10 m) above a river. A male Indiana bat was observed flying in an elliptical pattern among trees at 10 to 33 feet (3–10 m) above the ground under the canopy of dense forests. In addition, bats were foraging at canopy height in Virginia.
