Basic arrangement of spider eyes, viewed from above. Most spiders have eight eyes, which tend to be arranged into two rows of four eyes on the head region. The eyes can be categorised by their location and are divided into the anterior median eyes (AME), anterior lateral eyes (ALE), posterior median eyes (PME), and posterior lateral eyes (PLE).
Multiple eyes of a jumping spider. Spiders usually have eight eyes, each with a single lens rather than multiple units as in the compound eyes of insects. The specific arrangement of the eyes is one of the features used in classifying different species.
The posterior median eyes also have been shifted out laterally, almost as far as the posterior lateral eyes. They are usually much smaller than the posterior lateral eyes and there is doubt about whether they are at all functional in many species. The body length of jumping spiders generally ranges from 1 to 25 mm (0.04–0.98 in).
The outer pair are "secondary eyes" and there are other pairs of secondary eyes on the sides and top of its head. [25] Eyes of the jumping spider, Plexippus paykulli. Spiders have primarily four pairs of eyes on the top-front area of the cephalothorax, arranged in patterns that vary from one family to another. [13]
Spiders do not have compound eyes, but instead have several pairs of simple eyes with each pair adapted for a specific task or tasks. The principal and secondary eyes in spiders are arranged in four, or occasionally fewer, pairs. Only the principal eyes have moveable retinas. The secondary eyes have a reflector at the back of the eyes.
