“The eyes, which are among the most wonderful objects in nature, are almost always of the kind called compound, that is to say, they consist of a multitude of little hexagonal facets, brought close together on each side of the head, each furnished with a cornea, a lens, a coating of pigment, and a nervous filament, and being in fact a true eye.” — Goodrich, 1859
