• Clear vision of nearer objects

• Ultraviolet vision

At a glance!!

Magnified view of Ommatidia

Formation of image in compound eye

Digital Camera

Mimicing compound eye to digital camera

Difference in normal vision and ultraviolet vision

Plastron Breathing

• This process is used for under water breathing

• Uses gas exchange mechanism through an air bubble.

Structure of Plastrons

Pores where air bubbles are trapped

Dynamic Gaping

• Exchange of gases by flapping their wings

Gas is exchanged while flipping the wings

Plastron Interface

DIVING SUIT WITHOUTOXYGEN CYLINDER

• Certain number of plastrons are placed on suit so that it can trap the air bubbles and supply oxygen to the diver

Exchange of gases using dynamic gaping

• Carbon dioxide produced in the helmet is again sent to the plastron

• This gas is exchanged through the process of dynamic gaping

Stream AbandonmentBehaviour

• Uses rainfall as a cue to abandon streams

• Can be used as a process for predicting the floods.

Nature is full of mysteries keep explroing
