Wanderin' Weeta<p>Hermit crabs have compound eyes made up of hundreds of ommatidia, each facing a slightly different angle, giving a wide visual field. Besides, the eye stalks can move independently of each other, rotating through 360°, allowing the hermit to look in multiple directions at once. (I could have used that when my kids were young!) <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VancouverIsland</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/HermitCrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HermitCrabs</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/IntertidalInvertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntertidalInvertebrates</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Invertebrates</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MarineLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarineLife</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DailyHermit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailyHermit</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/CompoundEyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CompoundEyes</span></a></p>
