However populations on Bonaire and Curaçao are under threat from habitat conversion due to tourism and development.	Curacao Myotis is strongly insectivorous, feeding especially on small aerial insects (e.g., flies or moths) that they catch in open semi-arid areas. It is generally found in small colonies (Linares 1998).	On islands, the species is under threat from habitat conversion to tourist resorts and general development. Within the Caribbean coast of northern South America, changes in land cover are minimal (mostly caused by small herds of cattle and goats).	The species might be locally common (Solari et al. unpubl. data), however it has a restricted range.	Unknown	This species occurs in the northwest Venezuela, and Curaçao and Bonaire Islands (Netherlands Antilles) (Simmons 2005), and it may also be in Aruba. It is also found in northeast Colombia (Muñuz G. and Mantilla-Meluk 2012, Solari et al.  2013).		Terrestrial	The species needs conservation attention in island parts of its range.
