A 150-Ton Military Plane Imitates a 2-Gram Moth
Each AWACS plane is designed to establish the moment

and direction of an attack before it is launched. These planes,
designed by hundreds of scientists and engineers in facilities
costing hundreds of millions of dollars, use giant radar and
complex computer systems to monitor the activities of enemies

located far away. One living thing in nature displays a compa-
rable ability: the moth, which weighs no more than 2-2.5 grams.

Some species of moth are equipped with “early warning”
systems, just like those in AWACS planes. Thanks to the ears
underneath their wings, they can hear sound waves emitted by

bats (their enemies) from as far away as 100 meters (330 feet).
This allows them to identify their enemies’ coordinates and de-
cide whether an attack aimed at them has been initiated or not.

When the technology in a plane weigh-
ing many tons is compared to that in a
tiny moth, it is obvious that the moth
is a miracle of creation.
