Thank you for sharing some insects eyes! I wasn’t thinking at them with this topic and undeniably they have some of the coolest eyes!

WiFi signal is poor underwater, so in defense of our underrepresented underwater folks, I share a few eyes.

Those below will not be as vibrant as many shared already, but they are quite cool due to their originality and the feeling you get when this creatures look you eye to eye.
