While many insects that would otherwise become bat food rely on the sounds created by the nocturnal creatures to dodge their advances, deaf species of moth have no such luxury. These critters do have ...

A new study has found that moths like the Antherina suraka, pictured here, may use their scales to avoid detection by bats. Philstone/Wikimedia Commons Hungry bats love chowing down on tasty, nutrient ...

Bats use biosonar to hunt their prey by producing sound waves and then scrutinizing the returning echoes that bounce off insects. Moths are often able to fly away from hungry bats just by listening ...

A genus of deaf moth has evolved to develop an extraordinary sound-producing structure in its wings to evade its primary predator the bat. The finding, made by researchers from the University of ...

Some species of deaf moths can absorb as much as 85 per cent of the incoming sound energy from predatory bats -- who use echolocation to detect them. The findings reveal the moths, who are unable to ...

Nov. 6 (UPI) --The fur on the thorax of some moths absorbs the sound waves emitted by bats and their sonar systems, making them harder to detect, according to new research by scientists at Bristol ...

Bats eat a lot of moths, which they locate in the dark via echolocation. According to new research, however, some moths have evolved sound-absorbing fur as a passive means of defence – and it could ...

About 65 million years ago, right around the time dinosaurs went extinct, bats evolved the ability to echolocate. They would produce clicks with their mouth or nose and listen for echoes of those ...
