They HEAR using their ears but they use the echoes of the sounds they make to build a "sound picture" of their surroundings. This is used to avoid collisions and to catch prey. This use of sound and echoes is called "echo location".

Do bats hunt during the day or at night?

Insectivorous bats mostly hunt at dusk or at night. Rather than locating insects by sight, they locate them using echolocation. Echolocation is a method of using sound pings and then listening to the echos. From the echos, the bats can tell where objects, obstacles, and even insects are.

Do bats use their eyes or their ears to catch prey?

Most bats catch prey using their ears through a process called echolocation. They send out a high pitch (high frequency sound) which is above the human hearing range, and this sound echos off of their surroundings. Their ears are designed to catch this echo, and then they process the echos to get a sort of "mental image" of their surroundings. See Related Links for more info.
