Extract

A recent paper (2) described the light reactions of Sarcophaga aldrichi Parker when the eyes of the fly were treated in different ways. The present paper describes a similar series of observations on adults of the sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei (Fitch), and analyses the functions of their compound eyes, dorsal ocelli, and antennae.
