Fly Eye Count Statistics
The average number of fly eyes observed in the sample data set.
In the following post, we explore the fascinating world of fly eye count, diving into the intricate details of the compound eyes of various fly species. From the remarkable number of ommatidia in a fly’s eye to the specialized functions of these micro-lenses, we uncover how these unique visual structures contribute to the incredible sensory capabilities of flies in detecting motion, navigating their surroundings, and engaging in essential behaviors such as predator evasion and mate location.
Statistic 1
"The blowfly (Calliphoridae) typically has about 4,500 ommatidia in each compound eye."
Statistic 2
"Housefly eyes contain around 4,000 ommatidia, each capable of detecting movement."
Statistic 3
"The bluebottle fly has about 6,000 ommatidia in each compound eye."
Statistic 4
"The significant number of facets in flies' eyes makes them highly sensitive to motion, aiding in predator evasion."
Statistic 5
"The compound eyes of fruit flies consist of about 800 ommatidia, each containing 6-8 photoreceptor cells."
Statistic 6
"Specialized ommatidia in the dorsal part of the fly's eye help them in navigation and horizon detection."
Statistic 7
"Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) compound eyes allow them to detect up to 60 distinct motion directions."
Statistic 8
"The structure of a fly's compound eye is highly adaptable, allowing for vision in dim and bright light conditions."
Statistic 9
"Each micro-lens (ommatidium) in a fly's eye can detect only a small part of its surroundings."
Statistic 10
"Houseflies are capable of detecting light changes in a 200 Hz frequency range due to their high number of ommatidia."
Statistic 11
"The density of ommatidia in the fly's eyes allows for high-resolution pattern recognition."
Statistic 12
"Dragonflies, which are not true flies, have some of the most complex compound eyes, with up to 30,000 lenses."
Statistic 13
"Fly eyes contain clusters of ommatidia called pseudopupils, which can indicate the direction of their gaze."
Statistic 14
"A common housefly (Musca domestica) has about 4,000 lenses in each compound eye."
Statistic 15
"Flies have compound eyes that cover nearly the entire surface of their head, giving them nearly 360-degree vision."
Statistic 16
"Male houseflies have greater numbers of facets (ommatidia) in their compound eyes compared to females to help them locate mates while flying."
Statistic 17
"Fruit flies have approximately 620 ommatidia in each compound eye."
Statistic 18
"Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) have approximately 800 individual lenses in each of their compound eyes."
Statistic 19
"Fly compound eyes use a mosaic-like arrangement of ommatidia to form a complete image."
Statistic 20
"Each ommatidium in a housefly eye contains 8 sensory cells, each with its own specific function."
