Insect
Facts
Insects
have two kinds of eyes-the usually large and easy-to-see
compound eyes and two varieties of simple eyes.
Compound eyes are made up of many different
lenses-as many as 28,000 per single eye in certain species
of insects.
Insects' compound eyes cannot see fine
details clearly. To a person, looking through the eyes of
a honey bee is like looking through a wall of glass bricks.

Be Wary of Wasps!
Don't press this alarm... Never
squash a Yellowjacket wasp near the nest. A dying
yellowjacket releases an alarm pheromone, or smell,
that alerts other wasps. In less than 15 seconds,
yellowjackets within a 15-foot radius will come to
the victim's aid. The yellow jackets and hornets belong
to the family Vespidae. The yellow jackets are in
the subfamily Vespinae. They consist of four genera:
"Provespa, Vespa, Vespula and Dolichovespula."
