A butterfly sees you through their 12,000 eyes.

You can see well with two eyes but did you know that the monarch butterfly has two compound eyes with 6,000 simple eyes in each? That's 12,000 eyes that can see all the colors we can see plus ultraviolet light, which we can't see. They can also detect polarized light. Can you imagine what they see through 12,000 eyes?

Butterflies have a very substance vision simply because they, similar to jigs, grasshoppers, and other pesky insects, together with crabs along with crayfish (and a lot of other things! ) are usually arthropods. Just about all arthropods get substance face, as opposed to vertebrates, which have camera face.
