Fig. 4. Reflectance spectra measured from single-facet lenses in the eye of the
satyrine Bicyclus anynana. The spectra fall into two classes, yellow
and red. The reflectance spectrum of the yellow class is broad, extends into
the ultraviolet, is very minor above 600nm and peaks at around 580nm; the
reflectance spectrum of the red class is a restricted band around 650nm and is
negligible below 560nm. The spectra are normalized to the peak value of the
yellow class.
