Awesome bat!
I'm pretty sure we don't have bats that big in Texas!
We do have a family of forest dwelling bats that fly around the house in the evenings. I think they are actually called Evening Bats; they are small but mighty eaters.
I don't know if they are found as north as MI but they are found is Missouri and Iowa, declineing in Indiana; may be around if old timber can be found in your area.
