 The species flight is characterised by spiralling and gliding in long arcs.A study in comparative analysis of flight in Australian bats reported this highly energetic species, along with wattled bats "Chalinolobus morio" and "Chalinolobus gouldii", had the greatest manoeuvrability.They occur in colonies of up to one hundred individuals, and recorded in association with "Chalinolobus morio", lesser long-eared "Nyctophilus geoffroyi" and south-eastern freetail bat.
