ocellus [FBbt_00004505]
A simple visual organ on the top of the adult head (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022). There are three of these per head, arranged in a triangle with one on the midline and the others slightly posterior and lateral (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022). They develop from the eye discs (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022).
