螳螂虾的眼睛提供了一个独特的视角，从中可以看到视觉设计和进化的一般原则。螳螂虾是一种主要的热带甲壳类动物，其捕食性的生活方式需要非常先进的分析光线的能力。了解它们独特的视觉能力需要多层次的调查，从它们的视色素分子，到它们眼睛的解剖结构，到它们的视觉行为和它们栖息地的光线质量。其中一个有趣的特征是它错综复杂的感光器阵列。这和其他错综复杂的螳螂虾的感官经验。
The eyes of the mantis shrimp offer a unique perspective from which to view the general principles of visual design and evolution. A mainly tropical crustacean, the mantis shrimp's predatory lifestyle requires a very advanced capability of analyzing light. Understanding their unique visual abilities requires a multi-level investigations ranging from the molecules of their visual pigments, to the anatomy of their eyes, to their visual behavior and the qualities of the light in their habitat. Among the interesting features is its convoluted array of photoreceptors. This and other intricacies of the mantis shrimp's sensory experience are presented.
