Light-induced and circadian changes in the compound eye of the haematophagous bug Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
We analysed dynamic changes in the ommatidial structure of the compound eyes of Triatoma infestans. This nocturnal insect possesses open-rhabdom eyes, in which a ring of six rhabdomeres from retinula cells 1-6 (R1-6) surrounds a central pair of rhabdomeres from retinula cells 7 and 8 (R7-8).

We analysed dynamic changes in the ommatidial structure of the compound eyes of Triatoma infestans.
