Recently in Western biological circles there has been a great deal of interest in researching insects 'sensory perception. Moths of the family Noctuidae (owlet moths) have the most highly evolved hearing organs in the form of "tympanal organs," which help them avoid being caught by bats.
近來西方生物界對昆蟲的知覺研究產生高度興趣，夜蛾科飛蛾有演化最高超的聽器與鼓膜器，可以閃避蝙蝠的捕食，比蝙蝠的聲納更讓人嘆為觀止。
