The “Light Bug” or “Firefly” is an interesting insect with wings and defenses of its own.
According to an investigation by General Geographic, seemingly harmless fireflies actually have a deadly poison in their bodies, which can cause instant death if ingested.
Bats are equipped with a defense system that allows them to detect fireflies by the ultrasound they emit and avoid eating them.
The relationship between the firefly and the bat is intriguing because the firefly knows that the bat is its top predator, but since bats are blind, they can only find the firefly by following its ultrasonic sound that it emits to alert other animals of its unedibility.
Even if a bat decides to eat a firefly, it will suffer the same fate.
