Moths (and some other insects) have developed the ability to hear bat ultrasonic chirps. They use two sensory fibers in their "ears." The A1 fiber hears the bat from a long way off (before the bat detects the moth) and the moth reacts by flying away from the bat. The A2 fiber hears the bat only at the last second, when the bat is very close, and the moth reacts by reflexively altering course which reduces predation by 40%. |
