#Trilobites were primeval #arthropods, still unknown whether they belong to the ancestor lineage of #Chelicerata or all #Euarthropada. Besides their body segmentation, they possess #compoundeyes. #Asaphus #kowalewskii lived in the Ordovician and had #stalkedeyes, allowing it an overview of its surroundings even when covered with sediment.

🦑 Today’s poetry contest was to write a #limerick about our favourite animal and explain why in the author's notes.

I hope you enjoy my #poem about my beloved #MarineLife. Hopefully, my passionate 🧪 #Science facts will excite you, too!

Compound and median eyes of trilobites https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-31089-7

#Trilobites had so-called #MedianEyes, single eyes on their foreheads, in addition to their #CompoundEyes, research by Dr. Brigitte Schoenemann has now found out.

Adaptations across scales: Scientists learn how the #HorseshoeCrab sees through its cuticle lenses

Gradients of Orientation, Composition, & Hydration of Proteins for Efficient Light Collection by the Cornea of the Horseshoe Crab https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.202203371

Its #CompoundEyes are one the largest in nature. In contrast to many #insects and #spiders that build their eyes from glassy proteins, the horseshoe crab uses cuticle, the same material that builds its skin and legs.

I'm not sure what kind of fly this is. It has a green abdomen and was found near Harlem Meer in Central Park.
