Horseshoe crabs have those too - the three medial eyes are much more light/dark and UV!

They are Triassic superstars. Just amazing critters. So jealous for the Yankees that can see them along the seashore during mating season.

I stupidly didn’t take a good picture the year I saw so many they looked like the beach was cobblestoned, but the eggs are SUPER cool. The whole sand changes color, there’s so many.

Horseshoe crab eggs on white sand - they’re the size of 3-5 grains of sand, spherical, and all different shades of light and dark green
