DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:"The world through the eyes of a=
 butterfly". Like us, butterflies are very visual animals.  They use t=
heir eyes to gather information used in guiding their flight, choosing=
 mates, identifying appropriate plants for collecting nectar and layin=
g eggs, and detecting their enemies.  However, their compound eyes are=
 radically different in construction from our so-called camera eyes.  =
This presentation will review what we know about the structure of the =
eyes of butterflies and other insects and about how the world looks th=
rough such eyes.  The key features of butterfly vision will be directl=
y compared with the performance of our eyes and our visual perceptions=
.  These comparisons help us better understand these beautiful animals=
 and teach us not to assume that other animals see the world as we do. =0D=0=
