How Bats Use Echolocation to Hunt Moths - Science Explained #32495 (License: Personal Use)

This schematic illustration depicts a bat in mid-flight using echolocation: it emits high-frequency sound waves that propagate outward and reflect off a moth’s body. The returning echoes are processed by the bat’s auditory system to determine distance, size, and movement of the target. The moth is shown with a dark wing spot, possibly representing acoustic camouflage or a defense mechanism against bat detection.
