Question

What object is shown in this zoomed-in close-up photo?

IronKite · Accepted Answer

Bee compound eye (macro). Bees can see ultraviolet light that's completely invisible to humans, revealing hidden "landing strips" and nectar guides on flowers that look like glowing neon runway lights to their eyes. Even more wild: their compound eyes are so good at detecting fast movement that they actually see the world in slow motion compared to us, which is why they can navigate through a forest at full speed without crashing into branches.
