Hoary bat

Hoary bats are a species of migratory insectivorous bats. They are distributed widely across North America and in some parts of South America. The hoary bat averages up to 5.7 inches in length with a wingspan of up to 15.5 inches, making them the largest bat species found in Canada. Their body is covered in thick brown fur with white tips from which the species gets its name.

In the Silverwing series
Unlike most other bat species featured in the series, hoary bats are referred to simply as their species' common name rather than a colloquialism.

The only named hoary bat in the series is Arcadia, a banded bat residing in one of the artificial forests. Additional hoary bats are mentioned in passing to also be present in the artificial forests, but they are not named.
