The California myotis is largely free of ectoparasites commonly found on other bat species, such as fleas, ticks, flies, lice, and bed bugs. However, mites have occasionally been found on the dorsal wings of the California myotis. [4] The dental formula for M. californicus is 2.1.3.3 3.1.3.3 × 2 = 38 [5] Skull of a California Myotis
They range in size from the Taiwan broad-muzzled bat, at 3 cm (1 in) plus a 3 cm (1 in) tail, to the large myotis, at 10 cm (4 in) plus a 6 cm (2 in) tail. Like all bats, myotines are capable of true and sustained flight , and have wing lengths ranging from 2 cm (1 in) to 7 cm (3 in).

The specimen he collected was described by Oldfield Thomas as a member of the black myotis (Myotis nigricans). [2] In 1928, the specimen collected by Forrer was identified as the California myotis (Myotis californicus). [3] In 1978, the Myotis bats of Tres Marías Islands were elevated to species level, receiving the name Myotis findleyi. [4]

Myotis species are remarkably long-lived for their size; in 2018, researchers revealed that a longitudinal study appears to indicate that Myotis telomeres do not shrink with age, and that telomerase does not appear to be present in the Myotis metabolism. 13 species of Myotis bats live longer than 20 years and 4 species live longer than 30 years.
The fringed myotis gets its name from the distinct fringe of short, wire-like hairs found on the membrane between its hind legs. [2] With a lifespan that can reach upwards of 18 years, this species has an average total body length of roughly 85 millimetres (3.3 in) and an average weight of 8.8 grams (0.31 oz).
They seem to prefer rock crevices, while individuals in the northern part of the range favor ponderosa and lodgepole pines. [4] Reproducing females generally roost in small, 2-centimeter (0.79 in) wide crevices. Most crevices used by the long-eared myotis are vertically oriented and contain an overhang over the opening.
