Due to the unique morphology of their adult visual system, stalk-eyed flies represent an important model of exaggerated trait evolution through sexual selection. Early physiological measurements indicated wavelength sensitivity peaks in the ultraviolet (360 nm), blue (450), blue-green (490 nm), and red (>550 nm) ranges in the compound eye retina of the stalk-eyed fly Teleopsis dalmanni, consistent with the...
