Question

A bat is 100 ft. below and to the right of a moth, as shown in the diagram below. At this distance, the bat’s cry is faint and the moth can here the bat, but the bat cannot yet detect the moth. Which of the following statements is correct for the escape decision the moth will make?

a. The right A2 fiber of the moth will fire faster than the left A2 fiber, causing the moth to spiral out of control to the left.

b. The firing of the A1 fibers will not fluctuate with the beating of the moth’s wings, and the moth will assess that the bat is below it.

c. Because of the distance between the moth and bat, the moth’s A2 fibers will not fire and as a consequence the moth will take no action to evade the bat.

d. The right A1 fiber will fire faster than the left A1 fiber and the moth will maneuver it’s body until the firing rates are equal.

e. None of these will occur

f. a and c

g. b and d
