Flight control and landing precision in the nocturnal bee Megalopta is robust to large changes in light intensity

Like their diurnal relatives, Megalopta genalis use visual information to control flight. Unlike their diurnal relatives, however, they do this at extremely low light intensities. Although Megalopta has developed optical specializations to increase visual sensitivity, theoretical studies suggest tha...
