Abstract

Spectral sensitivity of insect visual system is one of the most important functions that are useful for controlling potential pests. After briefly summarizing the basic structure of two typical compound eye types, the apposition type of diurnal insects and the superposition type of nocturnal insects, we will introduce the mechanisms underlying the spectral sensitivity of insect photoreceptors. We will then explain some technical aspects that are crucial for measuring spectral sensitivities.
