On Animal Planet's series "Fooled by Nature," The Underwing Moth has a clever defense mechanism against bats. When the moth hears the ultrasonic calls of the bat, instincts make the moth dive out of harms way.
The startle response is such a cool evolutionary trait, many animals such as mantis's, moths, cray fish, cockroaches, possums, jays and even some snakes use. Each startle response is different but it is a reflex response to avoid predation or avoid eating a dangerous prey.

that sucks, I'd rather there be less bugs. That's bad for bats.

Can hear bats if I listen carefully, but just barely and only when there isn't a lot of ambient noise.
