This species of bat has been observed capturing insects near the ground and vegetation, which suggests they have a wider repertoire of sonar-guided behavior than previously recognized. We thought the sonar strobe groups might be well suited to helping the bat distinguish a small object from the more complex background you would find in the wild. -Cynthia Moss

To actually go from detecting the insect to the capture, our eyes just don't take it.

This gives us a lot of insights we wouldn't be able to make using static images.
