Example Sentences
a tie having eyespots of blue on a light gray background
Recent Examples on the Web The eyespot is studded with light-sensitive proteins called channelrhodopsins. 
Marc Zimmer, The Conversation, 5 Aug. 2021 Some of the earliest renditions might have been a simple pit eye, a kind of pit of tissue lined with light receptors, or what scientists call an eyespot, a simple region that detects light. Leslie Nemo, Scientific American, 19 May 2021 It’s a creepy little critter, with a single, distinctive black eyespot at the head of one to four spines. Popular Science, 17 Feb. 2021 During two days in October, these break off from the rest of the worm, and using an eyespot within, swim toward the surface—and the light of the moon. Douglas Main, National Geographic, 17 Apr. 2019 Scientists suspect eyespots first evolved in Jurassic lacewings and then a second time in modern butterflies. Rachael Lallensack, Smithsonian, 7 June 2019 Butterflies use the eyespots on their hindwings not for stealth but to scare away potential predators. Carrie Arnold, National Geographic, 21 Dec. 2016 Dakin repeated part of Petrie’s eyespot-snipping experiment. Susan Milius, WIRED, 27 Apr. 2011 See More
