my favorite unexpected eyes:
Starfish, one per arm
Ticks, because the part people call their “head” is just the mouth
Leeches, with anywhere from 2 to almost 30 eyes in some species
Box jellyfish, on all four of their boxy corners
Sea urchins, whose spines all act as one compound eye together
Scallops
predatory single-celled organisms called warnowiids, who use mitochondria and other symbionts as the “cells” of the eye.
some kinds of ALGAE!!!!?!?
hi bog I appreciate your commitment to pointing out eyes on things you wouldn’t expect to have eyes
