Thanks for sharing Steve. So it may explain how the moths find the bees at night! Since their echolocation is only good up close the fact that they can hear down to 20hz may explain how they find them. The bees are still busy after working a day and are fanning late into the night. That fanning happens around 450hz. That set frequency could be the moths "cat nip" call to locate a hive so far away. I guess now they will have to add "hearing a hives buzz" to the way a moth locates them. Before it was thought to be the smell. Cool stuff. Marty Sent from my iPhone
