The Clawsecta Game, ca. 2816

Let me try for the cockroach, Mommy!!! Pleeeeeeease!!!!

Diopsoidea, or stalk-eyed flies, can see a region of space extending over more than a hemisphere in all directions. This toddler diopsid, out shopping with his mom (long after homo sapiens have disappeared from Earth), clearly sees--and knows--what he wants.

What an interesting creature. I hope he gets the cockroach. A question. What does "extending over more than a hemisphere" mean?

"...The binocular field is most extensive in the frontoventral quadrant, where it reaches over 135°..." from Wikipedia.
