It has its main dendritic arbors in lobula layers 2 and 4, with connecting processes and some branches in layer 3 (Wu et al., 2016; Tanaka and Clark, 2022). Its arbors span approximately 15 optic columns, overlapping with other LC12 cells (Wu et al., 2016). It projects to the second most lateral of the ventral optic glomerulus of the PVLP, medial to LC17 (Wu et al., 2016). There are around 208 cells of this type (Wu et al., 2016).
