Large moths utilize elongated tail extensions on their wings as an effective countermeasure against bat predation by confusing bat sonar. This adaptation is part of a long-standing evolutionary arms race between predators and prey, which has persisted since the Cambrian period. Additionally, spiders have developed similar strategies, such as imitating ant movement with their front legs to evade bats. These findings highlight the intricate survival tactics employed by various species in response to predation.
