The total collected number of Egyptian fruit bat , R. aegyptiacus were 123.1, 144.0, 101.5 and 111.4 bats, respectively in the previously mentioned governorates , with  average seasonal numbers of 30.78, 36.03, 25.38 and 27.85 bats / m 2 , respectively.    Beheira Governorate occupied  the highest numbers of  the Egyptian fruit bat , followed by Gharbia, and Qaliobia , while Ismailia Governorate recorded the least numbers. The obtained results showed that Autumn season was the most favorable one for R. aegyptiacus activity, followed by Summer, and Spring, while Winter season was the least favorable season for bat activities. In addition, the obtained results revealed that the total collected number of insect bat ,  P. deserti was 138.0, 122.8, 132.7 and 147.8 bats in Gharbia, Beheira, Ismailia and Qaliobia Governorate, respectively, with average seasonal numbers of 34.5, 30.7, 33.18 and 36.95 bats / m 2 , respectively.
