By combining their normal head/eye movements - as they view the world in saccadic bursts - with the resulting light-induced microscopic photoreceptor cell twitching, the insects, such as flies, can resolve the world in much finer detail than was predicted by their compound eye structure, giving them hyperacute vision.
How and what do insects see?
Because of segmented eye structure, many insects see objects very differently from what humans perceive. ... This insect's brain works so rapidly, it perceives most movement in slow motion. Insects do see color, but not usually as clearly as other animals. Their vision assists them in detecting movement.
What kind of vision do insects have?
Insects and spiders don't see the world the way we do. Most insects have two types of eyes, simple and compound. A simple eye (ocellus, plural ocelli) is a very small eye made of just one lens. Compound eyes are the large, bulging eyes on each side of an insect's head, made of many (sometimes thousands) small lenses.
