Mystery of moths' warning sound production explained in new study https://phys.org/news/2024-02-mystery-moths-production.html
Buckling-induced sound production in the aeroelastic tymbals of Yponomeuta https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313549121
"Ermine #moths produce ultrasonic clicking sounds twice per wingbeat cycle using a minute corrugated membrane in their hindwing.
