It's #Leptember! Moths have been evolving ways to evade bats and bats have been adjusting strategies to keep up with the changes. The results are some amazing adaptations - like TYMBALS!
Some moth species have tiny noise makers that they use to startle attacking bats. Some may actually jam bat sonar frequencies (by making a loud sound at the same frequency as the bat call - it confuses the bat momentarily to give the moth time to drop and get out of the way).

It's #Leptember! Moths are a HUGE part of many bat diets. But did you know that moths have EARS? Tympanae are structures that allow moths to hear the echolocation calls of attacking bats (so they can dodge & avoid being eaten). #Bats #Moths #CoolScience
