KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -The flying insects may have two or three and some do not have simple eyes at all, while some parasitic insects such as fleas do not have compound eyes and have ocelli only. The world through the eyes of an insect will surely look unique and maybe more colourful.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bees and hoverflies have two sets of eyes – compound eyes and simple eyes. The compound eyes are the big, noticeable eyes at the side of the insect’s head, and they’re made up of lots of tiny photoreceptor cells, which are in groups called ommatidia1.

Detailed explanation-3: -The anatomy of the beetle reflects this relationship with adaptations designed specifically for penetrating the bark and phloem of the host tree. In general, bark beetles have a hard exoskeleton, a three-region body (head, thorax, and abdomen), two compound eyes, three pairs of jointed legs, and two antennae.

Detailed explanation-4: -A fly has two large eyes that cover most of their head. Each eye consists of at least 3, 000 individual lenses called ommatidia. With all of these “simple eyes” flies can’t focus on a single object like we do.
