Respuesta :

Compound Eye: The compound eyes of arthropods (insects like the mosquito) are made up of many lenses that detect minute changes in movement and color but produce less-detailed images than human eyes do.

Answer:

D. can detect color and form images

Explanation:

Compound eyes of insects like mosquitoes can detect the part of the light spectrum which are not visual to the human eyes. Compounds eyes are sensitive to light in the range from red to ultraviolet (UV). So, an insect can see UV light and reflects it to the various degree to form colourful images. The flowers of same colour for human may appear strikingly different to insects.
