Are grasshopper eyes hollow?
2

I found a grasshopper yesterday, and when culling duplicates etc (the images)  I noticed an odd eye detail, the back edge of the LHS eye looks open/hollow ? It looks like an air vent... a few other images had the same on both eyes.

Anyone noticed this before?, What's it for ?, or is Is it a trick of the light ?

regards
Jim
