A miniature nighttime drama -- a bat capturing a flying insect -- unfolds, courtesy of Cynthia Moss and Kaushik Ghose, in a video diptych consisting of infrared imaging in the left panel and a schematic animated graph on the right. As the ghostly shape of the bat closes in on a flying mantis, the right-hand panel shows the track of predator and prey, and also pinpoints the direction of the bat's sonar (both action and sound have been slowed down by a factor of 16).
