When they cannot see insects, at night, they can still locate them by emitting a sound and listening for echoes coming off the insects, a process called echolocation. It also helps them to avoid flying into walls or other obstacles.

The bat uses sonar and ecco-location to pinpoint insects by analyzing the bouncing patterns of sound waves in produces by screeching. It also analyzes the time those sound waves take to return to its ears. Its a very complicated technique, but the bat has mastered it, and utilizes it to 'see' as clear as day with sound.

they do not use there ears they use echolocation that comes from the mouth which bounces of an insect shaped thing (like an insect) and it goes back to the bat which then flies to the bug for a tasty snack
