strange eyes


Pseudo Eyes
Polyphemus moth
Flounder
Flounder Goby
Polyphemus moth opens its wings to reveal large fake eyes that will scare off a bird looking for a nice meal.

You might detect the panther grouper's eye, with a white ring around it, but there are so many other dark spots with white rings, it might be hard!
This flounder has three fake eyes on its back, while its real eye is hard to find near its mouth.


The goby's fake eye, located on its dorsal fin, is bigger than its true eye.
