Which Bug Has the Most Eyes?

What insect has lots of eyes?

Mantis shrimp eyes are compound like a dragonfly, but they only have 10,000 ommatidia per eye. Still, mantis shrimp have the most complex eyes of any animal known on Earth — they have 12 color receptors (compared to humans only having three), as well as ultraviolet, infrared and polarized light vision.

What insect has more than 8 eyes?

Six-eyed spiders are spiders that, unlike most spider species miss the principal pair of eyes, leaving them with only six eyes instead of the usual eight.
