A bat is not blind, but it flies in the evening, and lives in a dark cave. So it needs echo location to find it's way around and catch insects.

How do bats use their ears to catch insect?

------------------------------------------------------- Bats use a type of "sonar" to locate objects even in the dark (echo-location). A bat makes a high-pitched noise that bounces off objects nearby and the bat hears the echo. By timing how long it takes for the bat to hear the echo, it can calculate how far away it is. When it comes to a flying insect, the bat listens to the echo of it's noises and is able to locate where an insect is. Then it can fly to the insect and catch it - even if it is pitch dark. They use echo location. It is tiny beeps, too high pitched for our ears, and dogs ears too! The bats let out the tiny beeps, and the echoes tell them where bugs are.
