Bats may have a clever way of catching prey, but it turns out the tiger moth has some tricks of its own to avoid becoming a bat’s next meal. According to a study published in Science, the tiger moth ...

Tiger beetles generate "anti bat-sonar" to prevent echolocating bats from eating them, scientists say. An experiment suggests the beetles mimic sounds created by poisonous insects that bats avoid.

Insect-eating bats use echolocation to catch moths, while these night-flying prey have evolved early sonar detection and aerobatic maneuvers to evade bats. They’ve been dueling it out for over 65 ...

Tiger moths can thwart attacks from bats by effectively jamming the bats' sonar, doing so by emitting sudden bursts of ultrasound, scientists now find. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get ...

"Lots of things fly at night," says Harlan Gough, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Nightfall can set the stage for an acrobatic high-stakes drama in the air — a swirl of ...

A new study shows Bertholdia trigona, a species of tiger moth found in the Arizona desert, can tell if an echo-locating bat is going to attack it well before the predator swoops in for the kill – ...

When night falls, a high-stakes acrobatic drama takes the stage, a swirl of bats hunting insects, trying to outmaneuver each other in aerial pursuit and escape. Science reporter Ari Daniel has the ...
