Apparently, ants can see no further than around 1-2 feet of
distance. This makes evolutionary sense to me. After all, if you're
as small as ants are, why would you need to see to infinity like
people do? Think of the colossal brain you need to process all that
visual data. .As an ant you are not perturbed by a bison galloping
in your direction. You can't even see the bison coming. Hopefully
it doesn't stamp on you as it passes on its way.
.------------------ I started to imagine though, what would you see
if you were an ant walking along the forest floor, and (i) you DID
have the capacity to see way into the distance, and (ii) you were
looking vertically up? ---------------- I took some photos like
this. I call them "ant's views". I looked up in various places, and
came up with these imaginary ant's view images.
