Biocellate

/ˌbaɪoʊˈsɛleɪt/ adjective

Definition

Having two or more small eyelike structures or cells; describing organisms with cell-like spots or ocelli.

Etymology

From bio- (life) + cellate (having cells, from Latin cellula 'small room'). A descriptive botanical and zoological term used to classify organisms with distinctive spotted or eyed patterns.

Kelly Says

Some insects and sea creatures are biocellate, having tiny eye-like spots arranged on their bodies—it's a weird evolutionary strategy where fake eyes confuse predators into attacking the wrong end.
