Insects can have a number of eyes and moreover, eyes of different types; single eyes and compound ones. In contrast with our eyes, insect eyes are immovable and unable to focus. Insects are short sighted. Butterflies are probably the most far sighted, they can see perhaps a few meters, while bumblebees only have a range of a half meter. But many insects are helped a lot by their sometimes unbelievable sensitivity for scents.
