Figure 13.3.6 shows a compound eye of the insect Lasius niger linne. The head composed of compound eye, antenna, and mouth is observed in Fig. 13.3.6c. Many ommatidia are ordered arrange on the convex spherical surface, as observed in Fig. 13.3.6b, and also are close-packed completely, as can be seen in Fig. 13.3.6a. Natural pollen grain and insect compound eye are the final approaching standard models for study of the preparation of composite and encapsulated powders.

C. inequalis Lasius niger. Three species of Camponotus use compound d, while C. herculeanus uses a mixture of d and f and C. ligniperdus has all three of d, e and f Compounds g, h and i are all found in some of these species, but appear not to act as pheromone components...
