Moth

Surprisingly, moths have extraordinary hearing and can detect bats from a distance of 100 feet before the bat ever notices them. The Greater Wax moth has the best hearing of any of the 160,000 species of moths on the planet. Greater wax moths can perceive sound at greater frequencies than any other species on the planet, up to 300 kHz, this is what makes it on the list of the best hearing animals, to say exactly not the best, but beyond imagination, making it impossible for scientists to believe that such a small insect has such ultrasonic hearing.

Moths have nerve cells in their ears that allow them to perceive even the tiniest movement or sound. They reverse course and begin flying in an evasive manner as soon as they hear a predator approaching. Until the threat is gone, some even shut their wings and drop to the ground.
