The way we see something can change even based on the tools we use: you might wear glasses, contact lenses, or none. It\u2019s different too in the animal kingdom, dogs have a \u201cdichromatic vision\u201d which means they are blind to red-green colors and only see in brown, yellow, blue and gray. Birds can see ultraviolet colors that are invisible to us humans. But what about insects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>THE QUESTION OF THE DAY:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong><em><strong>What does the world look like to a fly?<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1025\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-603614\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes-768x787.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes-150x154.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes-300x308.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/pod_bugeyes-696x713.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Insects&#8217; eyes are built differently from ours.
