Insect Vision Part 4: What Do Insects See?
ฝัง

- Movies usually get how insects see all wrong-but what does right look like? We’re taking everything we’ve learned about insect vision and imagining how the world might appear through their eyes.
Us thinking insects see the world in a honeycomb pattern of repeating images, would be like insects thinking humans see the world upside-down and reversed.
or that humans see the world in a tiny circle because of our pupils
I kinda think the vision wouldn't be pixelated. Rather, it would be smoothed over by the brain to create a more cohesive vision to see. For example, we have a blind spot in our vision in both eyes, but our brain fills in the gap with information and smooths out that blind spot.
I wonder if an insect really sees the world in pixels. I rather think that its brain assembles all the individual pixels into a coherent image.
I'd imagine it would probably look more like newspaper print. Thousands of dots create pictures, not pixels.
Or perhaps things are just really blurry.
Excellent video! Easily the best representation I've seen of what an insect might actually see.
I wonder where the idea came from that insects see multiple images came from.

Film makers being lazy and trying to fool the audience into thinking they see an insect's-eye view. Not scientists or even common people, just Hollywood not knowing what to do.
It's videos like this one that make me feel giddy like a preteen getting presents for Christmas
Took me some hunting to finally find something like this. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
Another fantastic episode!
I hope you continue, I cannot imagine how useful this must be for teachers and lecturers as an aid! The narration and animations are certainly professional quality! Good work :)
As an Entomology student, this was amazing !
Thanks and keep up the good work !
Sry to bother you, but I want to have an entomology degree and I wanted to know if you are taking direct entomology courses or did you do Biology/Zoology classes first?
@@omartistry I did actually take courses on biology and chemistry (organic and inorganic).
But I'm not sure it depends on where you live mainly.
Not bothered at all 😁
I don't think insects have black borders in between their compound eye pixels. I've heard that insects look at things with "sacades" or moving towards an object so their eyes see thing at a higher resolution than suggested by their amount of compound eyes, and each compound eye probably sees more than pixels that we think.
Imagine having a 360 camera as a eye
I’m so excited for the next videos! You guys are awesome! I’m a business student but I’ve loved bugs ever since I was little. My earliest memories are of me spending all day exploring for new bugs to study. I used to even freeze some of the more painful or dangerous ones so I could look at them better. My parents still have video footage of the moment I first discovered that “spiders have eight eyes!!” and ran inside with one trying to show it to everybody lol
An other great video. Your channel deserves way more views. Keep at it!
Once again, another great video! Worth the wait lol
Fascinating how this view of the world is equally as valid as the way we see it.
Fascinating little series, thank you. Subscribed. Now for some binge watching.
I understand how pseudo-pupils work but one question I’ve always had that this just reminded me of is why do some bugs like horseflies for example have wavy stripes or other crazy patterns and colors instead of the animal-like pseudo-pupils of praying mantids?
yeah that's a great question. Not sure if the pigments on the eyes directly affect the vision or if it has more to do with coloration of the insect/camouflage or something of that nature or both. As we were researching this we found so many questions like that, at a certain point we had to narrow the scope of what we wanted to discuss in order to get the animation complete but I could easily conceive of dozens of more chapters just on vision. At some point I'd like to revisit but I want to talk about some other aspects of insect physiology in the next animations. It never ends!
so basically, they see like hollywood robots without a HUD
Unbelievably cool!
Fantastic, as always!
Wonderful point of view. Thanks for sharing
This video, the quality of the presentation, the professional narration yet lighthearted and interesting approach… these things make your Chanel and this content amazing to watch! I really hope your channel explodes and you get many more views and subs! I hope your videos keep coming!
What an amazing video. Thank you so much.
Fantastic video! Thanks!!
This is what I was looking for.
I wanted an insect's-eye view. I thought I was going to draw such a view for fun, but I guess I gotta make it a mosaic. I also wonder how I can draw this increased field of view.
Maybe this is bests left for digital animation. But a movie in this style would be so cool.
Fantastic video, thank you. I was researching this subject and missing a good video visualization, really the best one I've come across, great work!
Excellent video. Exactly what I wanted to hear and exactly how I like things to be explained. Whomever put the script together, great job! The digital imagery was top notch. It was especially cool to see all 5 of the eyes put into one. Thank you.
Wonderful video ! I searched high and low for a video about Ant or bug vision so thankyou for sharing your work ♡
The high quality visual demonstration is a massive cherry on top 👌
these are so well done and beautifully animated too!!
you just found yourself a new sub, really enjoy they content,
cool video, looking foward for more episodes
We really aren't so different is honestly my take-home. We can see them, they can see us - both just going about our business.
This is exactly the information I was looking to learn today. Thank you so much.
This was actually so cool! Thank you for the interesting perspective
Cool video. I'll add that bees probably see things in slow motions. As they have a different perception of time
Same as flies. That’s why if you move slow enough, they can’t perceive the motion
This is incredible!
very good series
After a long time 🤩🤩
Excellent video
Excellent presentation
Awesome vid! Can't wait for 5!
Great video! The animations were top notch too 👍
Great video and thoughtful presentation.
One minor clarification / potential correction: you say, around 4m25s, "... even have blotches of UV-reflective pigments that create dramatic 'nectar guides'...". Informally / casually, this suggests *more* UV reflection. Yet the video is showing a *darker* center, for illustration. And, AFAIK, the video is correct. The nectar guides are specifically *less* UV-reflective.
Just a minor point that could be a bit clearer.
On a related note, I don't work in this field so only very briefly looked at a little literature - so I don't know if this is common or not, but it seems to me like it might be useful to show UV and other colors visible to bees *combining*, like "secondary colors" (elementary school-like model), or R+G producing yellows and oranges etc.
Much like we don't distinguish red and green, say (or red and yellow) separately when looking at, say, a pumpkin, based on everything I know about photoreceptors and the neurological wiring (in general), I'd imagine insects wouldn't be able to, nor would it be advantageous in a natural selection sense, to have some sort of "separate channel" type of perception / interpretation.
Of course, I may easily be somehow entirely off-base, there. Unfortunately, don't quite have time this moment to really delve into that. But, thought I'd throw that out there.
Thanks for the great video!
To clarify the potential clarification (just occurred to me), a natural change would be replacing the word "reflective" with "absorbing". I think I saw some mention of specific (classes of) molecules - compounds synthesized by the plants - that have absorbance peaks specifically in the relevant UV range.
thank you guys
Love it, exactly what I was looking for :)
Absolutely stellar videos.
Have you thought about doing crabs, or peacock mantis shrimp?
Kudos to you guys! Nicely done and very well explained :)
great vid, but I don't like the 'pixlation'. humans too have discrete sensor cells, but don't see hard lines between them. a good blur between the pixels would be a more accurate illustration
Thanks..... I loved this video
Wow... that is incredible & fascinating. Thank you for putting this together. Definitely wish school had been this interesting.
So flipping great! Recommending this to kids in my mosquitoes class.
This is exactly the topics I think about
God was wildin when he made that one damn 1:49
Nice video......
Thank you for this video! I was just looking at a bug outside and had this very question - how do they see? This short video was so helpful and animated wonderfully
I figured a bug's vision is a little bit similar to what you see when looking through those pinhole sunglasses.
Great video :)
how on earth this video only has 36k views? i thought it's a 10m+ video
Excellent
I've always wondered how most of the insects can see the world and especially how far they can see - most people say they can only see whats going on a few meters in front of them but then some insects navigate by using the star constellations so they probably have far better eyesight.
The only celestial navigation I've heard about is a moth using the moon.
@@twistedyogert there are other insects using stars like beetles.
So cool video wow
Someone make a game where you play as insects with these shaders applied
This is the great example of all creatures have their own way of perceivingthe world.
Ammaaaaazinnnnggggg!!!!
Our brain fills in the portion of our vision where our nose is and its usually seamless for us, it should work similarly for insects as well, the thousands of individual segments should be one seamless gap-less view for them, is there any way to test it though?
a really good question. It would be an interesting to design an experiment that could see how much insects rely on stereoscopic vision. Certainly the way a hammerhead fly's eyes are arranged there is a large gap in the middle because their eyes are spread so far apart.
So their vision probably looks more like newspaper print rather than 80s arcade game.
It is like 360° Camera with 140p resolution and 720fps
Hollywood lied to us. I'm shocked.
(Not really, for them to see that they would have to have at least as many photoreceptors in each facet as we do in our own eyeballs and the hardware needed to integrate that into a picture but they don't. I think that they have at least 7 photoreceptors for different colors) Speaking of eyeballs, we usually don't see two of everything because our brains put it together.
My hobbies include, entomolgy, 3d animation, filmaking, and art (these are all of em combined) :D i have zbrush and blender but, zbrush dosent work on linux sadly so i have to use linux for blender and windows for zbrush, i use linux for incresed performance but zbrush dosent work well for linux, any sugestions?? Thanks (:
I haven't used Linux much so not sure what to tell you. You can contact Pixologic/Maxon directly and see if they have a suggestion. I do a Live stream on the Pixologic Twitch channel twice a month with an entomological theme. next one is on Thursday the 14th of April.
I'm here for book writing research and I can already feel myself falling down a rabbit hole 👀😂
yeah, I can relate to that!
Why is the polarized band of light darker at 90 degrees instead of lighter?
we chose darker simply because that's the way its most often represented/described in the literature. The physics of light is not my area of expertise so might want to ask a physicist.
You mean to tell me Dragons fly can see in HD?
16 bit vision 🐝
This is the long version of I don't know.
🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Just watched the 4 parts! Well done guys! And your right, we don’t know how insect processes information. There may be parts in the brain that eliminates the pixel view and puts it all in perfect clarity. I can’t believe that this came about by pure chance. There has to be a designer behind these incredible and beautiful creatures. God is awesome!
How do parasites and microscopic things see the world
3:45 in englisch his name would be Karl from fresh :))
Can insects see atoms? Do ants wobble when they march because they're avoiding things we can't see? Do gnats see atoms?
Atoms are incredibly tiny. They are so small that visible light waves do not reflect off of them. Atoms only appear as dots to even the most powerful microscopes.
I don't think insects can see all colors
those animations....bruh
My resolution: 2
Thanks for not referring to the evolutionary fable.
Cool, he put a black person as model to show he is political correct. Could had been Asian or Eurpoen, but now that's racist. 🤣
