Framed Print of Horsefly eye C018 / 2407
Horsefly eye. Close-up of the head of a horse fly (family Tabanidae), showing one of its large compound eyes. Each compound eye is made up of numerous simple eyes called ommatidia (small dots). Each ommatidium sends a signal to the flys brain, which combines the thousands of images to form a mosaic view of the world. The image is not sharp but is excellent at detecting movement.
