Similarly a character with blindsense uses all their 5 senses (and possibly the 6th) in tandem and to a higher degree--though Daredevil took it over the top. But yes, you could easily detect an invisible creature by using blindsense. However, I also must point out that you won't know precisely where it is. You'll know it's there and in what direction. You won't know its exact location. Now blindsight on the other hand...that'll find it exactly. Blindsight, however, is usually more akin to echolocation (sp?) and is subsequently easier to foil. For most creatures blindsight is sound-based only and is ruined by things that cause deafness or generate an area of silence. Still, there are some other forms such as heat-based ones. Those are niiiiiiice.
