The greater wax moth, known scientifically as Galleria mellonella, hears through specialized structures called tympanal organs located on its abdomen. These organs are sensitive to sound vibrations, particularly those produced by the echolocation calls of bats. When the moth detects these sounds, it can respond by altering its flight patterns to evade predation. This auditory ability plays a crucial role in its survival in the wild.
