While they excel at motion detection, their resolution is lower than that of vertebrate eyes. Certain insects, such as honeybees, can perceive colors and ultraviolet light, which helps in pollination and navigation. Modifications in pigment improve sensitivity in low light. Overall, despite some limitations, compound eyes provide distinct advantages in motion detection and light sensitivity.
