vision adult vision Adult mosquitos have two accurate and sensitive compound eyes. They have the capacity to resolve details of the spatial environment and so permit complex activities such as upwind flight and position holding in swarms. The compound eyes of the adult mosquito arise during the first larval instar as thickenings of the epidermis, called optic placodes, just anterior to the stemmata.

IDOMAL:0002184 IDOMAL:0002184 Much remains to be discovered about connections between optic sensilla or ommatidia with the visual neuropiles in the optic lobes and the information from the neurons. idomal_namespace vision adult vision Adult mosquitos have two accurate and sensitive compound eyes.
