Anyone who’s tried to swat a pesky mosquito knows how quickly the insects can evade a hand or fly swatter. The pests’ compound eyes, which provide a wide field of view, are largely responsible for ...

The research paper was featured as the cover article in Science Robotics (Volume 9, Issue 90) in May 2024. The cover shows a fusion of an image composite of a robber fly’s eye on the left and an ...

Researchers have discovered an extraordinary diversity of opsin genes that encode light sensors involved in color vision in dragonflies. We humans have a trichromatic color vision based on three opsin ...

A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how insects use their compound eyes to sense an object and its trajectory with such speed. The compound eye could ...
