  1. Dogbane tiger moth (Cycnia tenera). Like others in the subfamily (Arctiinae), they can jam bat sonar by making high-frequency chirps. I'm not sure of specifics but apparently bats can adjust their sound production to become unjammed. And no doubt, moths have additional countermeasures to deploy. #dogbane #moth #moths #lepidoptera #evolution #insects #nature #bats #echolocation
