[4] They occasionally occupy other sites that resemble large dead leaves, such as dried corn stalks and thatched roofing [5] This species roosts in trees and vegetation.

[6] In Texas, their preferred roosting sites are the frond "skirts" of both wild and ornamental palm trees, such as Sabal mexicana and Washingtonia robusta.

[2] In the northern hemisphere, males of L. ega become scarce between April and June, while females are present year-round, suggesting a migratory strategy.

Many North American migrant bats can be found at a distance of several kilometers from their normal destination during fall and spring migrations, probably having been blown there by wind.

[9] Both records of L. ega in the Southern Hemisphere indicate movements at the end of summer and beginning of fall, supporting the theory that at least some animals migrate to avoid cold temperatures.
