摘要：

The highly specialized dorsal compound eye of male simuliids is especially adapted to detect, during flight, the very small (1 .times. 3 mm) females. At dawn, the eye functions close to the physical limit imposed by the quantum fluctuations of light. In bright illumination, light-quantum noise is not a limiting factor as shown by behavioral experiments.
