The moss is especially coarse, and it creates a multi frequency sound pattern as the Fernwing moves. The sound has been likened to that of cicada or crickets, but it extends well beyond the range of human hearing. Large groups of them can make a truly raucous noise that drowns out all but the loudest speech.
The Fernwings appear to use the noise that their bodies make for echolocation, and they can navigate easily in complete darkness. The sound also has the effect of disorienting the insects and other flying animals that they commonly prey upon, including the common fruit bats that also live on Skull Island.
Fernwings are nocturnal like bats, but, unlike most bats, they do not roost in caves. Instead, Fernwings create shallow burroughs that they nestle their bodies into, while exposing their fronds to the sunlight. Then, they sleep through the day, absorbing energy through photosynthesis. If disturbed during the day, they are sleepy and lethargic.
Fernwings are not generally a significant danger to human explorers on Skull Island, though the noise of their flight can sometimes mask the sounds of more dangerous predators. In addition, their racket can make it difficult to sleep.
