Moths produce anti-bat sounds that startle bat predators, signal noxiousness, mimic unpalatable models and jam bat sonar. Tiger beetles (Cicindelidae) also purportedly produce ultrasound in response to bat attacks. Here we tested 19 tiger beetle species from seven genera and showed that they produce anti-bat signals to playback of authentic bat echolocation. The dominant frequency of beetle sounds substantially overlaps the sonar calls of sympatric bats. As tiger beetles are known to produce defensive chemicals such as benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, we hypothesized that tiger beetle sounds are acoustically advertising their unpalatability. We presented captive big brown bats (\n                    <jats:italic>Eptesicus fuscus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) with seven different tiger beetle species and found that 90 out of 94 beetles were completely consumed, indicating that these tiger beetle species are not aposematically signalling. Instead, we show that the primary temporal and spectral characteristics of beetle warning sounds overlap with sympatric unpalatable tiger moth (Arctinae) sounds and that tiger beetles are probably Batesian mimics of noxious moth models. We predict that many insect taxa produce anti-bat sounds and that the acoustic mimicry rings of the night sky are hyperdiverse.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1098\/rsbl.2023.0610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,15]],"date-time":"2024-05-15T09:23:51Z","timestamp":1715765031000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1098\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Tiger beetles produce anti-bat ultrasound and are probable Batesian moth mimics"],"prefix":"10.1098","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8699-8104","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Harlan M.","family":"Gough","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5143-308X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Juliette J.","family":"Rubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biology, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3724-4610","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Akito Y.","family":"Kawahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3084-2973","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jesse R.","family":"Barber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida , Gainesville, FL 32611, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, Boise State University , Boise, ID 83725, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"175","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1907847116"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1641\/0006-3568(2001)051[0557:EBIEB]2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-012370880-9.00003-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00114-005-0611-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1641\/0006-3568(2001)051[0570:HSIDAA]2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/z90-009"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0703627104"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1174096"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2117485119"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3032.1988.tb01129.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.200.3.649"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01982317"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_14_2","first-page":"903","article-title":"Defensive secretions of tiger beetles: cyanogenetic basis","volume":"69","author":"Blum MS","year":"1981","unstructured":"Blum MS , Jones TH , House GJ , Tschinkel WR . 1981 Defensive secretions of tiger beetles: cyanogenetic basis.
