Silverwing (species)

Silver-haired bats, known as Silverwings in the Silverwing series, are a species of migratory insectivorous bats. They are common throughout much of North America, with their range covering nearly the entire United States, the northern-most areas of Mexico, and much of southern Canada. Silver-haired bats are named for the notable white tips of their otherwise dark brown/black fur, giving the appearance of silver frosting. They largely reside in forests, though may also inhabit grasslands and more urban areas.
