caterpillars can barely see at all. they have simple eyes (ocelli) which can only differentiate dark from light; they cannot form an image. they are composed of photoreceptors (light-sensitive cells) and pigments. most caterpillars have a semi-circular ring of six ocelli on each side of the head.
caterpillars startle at loud noises.
