Insects are notorious for their bad sight. A wasp will pounce upon a nail on a whitewashed wall under the impression that the nailhead Is a My which will provide it, with a meal, a white butterfly will flutter to a scrap of white, or even blue, paper, mistaking it for a fellow; a bee will aligMl" upon any coloured&piece of cloth'and search diligently for nee tar. A bluebottle »r a moth will bang its head against filing or window-pane, "quite unable to "place" the obstruction or to per-' ceive the difference between thr white ceiling or window-pane, '>.> d; the blue sky. Poorly equipped, lowever, as it appears to be in vision, an insect's sight is entirely adequate to , meet the ordinary everyday needs of , natural life.
