Trivia Answer 7

How many lens does a butterfly eye have?

a. 10

b. 200

c. 6,000

Each eye has 6,000 separate lenses, each one pointing in a slightly different direction, which allows butterflies to see all around them, up, down, to the side, they can even see behind them.  Their vision is not real clear, but all they need to be able to see is something coming at them to know they need to move on.

Butterflies can also see ultraviolet light, which we humans are unable to see.
