what an ant sees
Can Ants See. Some can and some can't. There are some kinds of ants which have no eyes. Most of them do have eyes, though they may be such simple ones that they only detect the presence or absence of light and possibly its color, but do not form an image. Ants that have compound eyes can form an image, but it is a much grainier one than we see, like a poor newspaper photograph. The winged male and female ants have larger and more acute eyes than the workers. The workers of a few species of ants have large compound eyes, but most do not.
