This bee's really special. Her name is Xylocopa myops & she's NOCTURNAL But instead of developing echolocation or another sense to help them navigate the dark, this species puts all their effort into sight. She has absolutely massive eyes as you can see. But more than that, she has huge ocelli. 1/x
