Have you noticed how beautiful Monarch Butterfly eyes are? To my general eyesight their eyes are black with little grooves down the length of them, but what is the reality?
Butterfly eyes are composed of thousands of image forming tiny eyes called ommatidia. Each ommatidium is a sensory structure with a lens, cones and retina cells. The ommatidia are arranged in the compound eye so that each individual eye is set at a slightly different angle from the next. This arrangement allows the butterfly eye to simultaneously see in all directions at the same time with a mosaic of individual images that form a whole picture. This type of vision is known as Omni-vision. REF: MOSI Outside Click on each picture below, to see a larger view...
