Compound eye - Wikipedia
Good fliers like flies or honey bees, or prey-catching insects like praying mantises or dragonflies, have specialized zones of ommatidia organized into a fovea area which gives acute vision. In the acute zone the eye is flattened and the facets larger.
How Many Eyes Does A Fly Have? An In-Depth Look At Their Vision
How Many Eyes Does A Fly Have? A fly typically has two compound eyes, each consisting of thousands of individual units called ommatidia. These compound eyes provide flies with a wide field of view, excellent motion detection, and the ability …
Flies evade your swatting thanks to sophisticated vision and …
2022年8月17日 · Flies can thank their fast, sophisticated eyesight and some neural quirks for their ability to escape swats with such speed and agility. Our lab investigates insect flight and vision, with the goal of finding out how such tiny creatures can process visual information to perform challenging behaviors, such as escaping your swatter so quickly.
Visual circuits in flies: Beginning to see the whole picture
In this review we will focus on recent advances in the identification and characterization of microcircuits underlying four different visual modalities: motion vision, phototaxis, color and polarized light vision. The fly eye contains about 800 independent unit eyes called ommatidia, corresponding to 800 pixels in the animal’s visual field.

Surprising solution to fly eye mystery - University of Cambridge
Fly eyes have the fastest visual responses in the animal kingdom, but how they achieve this has long been an enigma. A new study shows that their rapid vision may be a result of their photoreceptors - specialised cells found in the retina - physically contracting in response to light.
