.鄭焜龍-枯葉蝶的眼球（複眼）會轉
(Kalliaminachus boisduval Butterfly’s Moveable Compound Eyes)

文獻記載蝴蝶的複眼由6~7千個小單眼所構成，視角廣，不會轉動，但我發現「枯葉蝶」的複眼會轉動。第一張相片眼球中間的黑點（是斑紋不是瞳孔）是置中的。第二張改變拍攝角度，牠的黑點也跟著我45度移動。第三張在牠前面拍攝黑點，也跟著移動到最前面注視著我，但牠右邊的眼球卻不動，因為我是在牠的左前方，所以牠的左眼球盯著移動。拍過幾隻枯葉蝶都得以印證，枯葉蝶除了每隻翅膀紋路不一樣外，連眼球紋路也每隻都不同，像人類的指紋。希望能由解剖學再進一步印證此重要發現！

Writtenrecords indicate that the butterfly’s compound eyes are made up of 6-7 thousand mini ocellus. They have wide viewing angles but have no eye movements.  However from my observation, I found out that the compound eyes of the Kalliaminachus boisduval butterfly do move. The first photograph shows that the black dot (not pupil) in the middle of the eyeball is centered. The second photograph shows that, when the camera angle changed, the black dot also followed the 45 degrees angle change. For the third photograph, this was taken right in front of it and the dot moved forward to stare at me. But the right eyeball didn’t move as my lens was focused on its left eye. Therefore only the left eye moved with me. Several shootings of the Kalliaminachus boisduval reach the same conclusion. Each butterfly not only has different patterns on its wings but also have different creases on its eyeballs. It is similar to those of human fingerprints. I’m hoping that the study of anatomy will further verify my claims.
