Animal Senses
Bees use their eyes to find flowers whereas flies find food by tasting it with their feet ... a fly can take off in one-tenth of a second but a mantis can catch it in one twenty-fifth of a second.
Discovering how animal sense organs function is important, for not only are they often superior to our own but they are the guides for the behaviour of the animals themselves.
