| Dragonfly's Eyes | Back to Small Creatures | |
| The Dragonfly has 5 eyes. | ||
| The 3 smallest eyes don't capture images, they only register light intensity. | ||
| It really sees with the other 2 eyes which are composed of about 30,000 receptors in a mosaic shape which send the information to the nervous centre which processes the images. | ||
| A Dragonfly captures 200 images per second, the human eye only 24. | ||
