Hey buddy here is your answer

Apposition and superposition compound eyes. The eyes of most day-active insects (like bees) are apposition compound eyes (a)-the photoreceptors (hatched) of each ommatidium (nine ommatidia are seen here in longitudinal section) receive light exclusively from the single facet lens of their own ommatidium (because each ommatidium is sleeved by a layer of light-absorbing pigment granules that prevent light arriving from neighbouring ommatidia). Most nocturnal insects (such as moths and beetles) possess refracting superposition eyes (b) in which the lenses and photoreceptors are separated by a wide optically clear (i.e. pigment-free) region known as the clear zone (cz)
