That’s a very good question. I found this web link that can answer your question. Enjoy! https://www.lewisginter.org/butterfly-facts/  |

...well, I checked out the link supplied by Mr. Fancy-Pants and while there was some interesting butterfly info, none of it seemed to answer your question. It did tell HOW butterflies saw the world but not their visual range. Being one to always discover my own answers anyway, here's how I'd get that information. 1. - Stand in the middle of a park that has some butterflies and wait for one to land. 2. - Standing about 20 feet away, slowly draw your gun from the waistband of your pants and slowly walk towards the butterfly while aiming straight at it. 3. - When the butterfly gets a look of alarm and flys away, you know it has seen you and that will give you your answer. The moral of this story is: if you want a job done right, do it yourself  |

Well, my esteemed colleague has once again given the number one answer to the question….. “Do Loons sit in trees?” |

74  Good question? I've seen butterflies covering dead animals. Strange, I know. I wonder if "they" smelled `em or, actually found the animals, by sight?  |

...Kronk...butterflies are natural-born killers and hunt in packs. L.D. should have told you this. I think these butterflies probably used their raptor skills and killed those animals for sport. |

Hekler "L.D." here: If you think today's butterflies are vicious, imagine the terrible "cave butterfly;" twelve foot wingspan and weighing in at an unbelievable fourteen ounces! kronk---Yeah! Once, I ate two of those things, and I was still hungry. |

I’m not an expert, but I think they cannot see as “well” as humans because they see the world very differently from us. We have binocular vision, which makes us very good at depth perception. But this comes as a cost for our field of view. Butterflies have large compound eyes which give them a much wider field of view than us. From what I understand, compound eyes usually have some depth perception, but it’s not like ours, which is why many of them wiggle before they jump (this also works with human’s too, check out wiggle stereoscopy). So, while butterflies have a great field of view, they don’t see sharp images like we do. Some insects even have a full 360-degree field of view, which means they are very good at detecting motion and flying away from you. But they can only see the outline of whatever they are looking at, like a mosaic. Insects also see other wavelengths that we cannot see, such as ultraviolet. Check out some photos of flowers in UV light, they stand out quite well, which helps insects easily locate them.  |
