The Role of Eavesdropping in Predator-Prey Interactions Among Katydids and Bats

Quick fact

Some katydids can detect bat echolocation calls and abruptly stop singing or drop to the ground, reducing their risk of being eaten—a behavior known as 'bat avoidance.'

Why this is interesting

Imagine singing to find a mate, but your song also makes you a target for a deadly predator. For katydids, this is not just a metaphor—it's a nightly reality.
