Darwin's Hawkmoth (Xanthopan praedicta) responds to bat ultrasound at sonar-jamming rates: Acoustic data set

<p>This paper reveals that <em>Xanthopan praedicta</em> (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is part of the bat-moth coevolutionary dynamic. I played recordings of bat echolocation to live <em>X. praedicta</em> and found that males respond with such dense ultrasound they can likely jam bat sonar. Female <em>X. praedicta</em> and two other sphingid species do not produce ultrasonic responses.</p>
