Said “normal” eyes are nothing like our bifocal eyes. These 3 “ocelli” act as photoreceptors that detect light from the sun, which helps the insect stay oriented.

That’s why they’re always able to fly stably because they know which way is up. And it’s also why they’re so attracted to night lights because they think it’s the moon and are orienting themselves to that.

Lizards have three eyes
one is under the scales on top of their head and is meant to sense the amount of light around them
