Why can an insect eye detect motion better than the human eye?

  b. Insects have compound eyes that are very good for depth perception and hence detecting
  movement.
  c. The multiple ommatidia allow the insect eye to focus more acutely on an image.
  d. The lens of the insect eye is concaved, which provides better focusing capabilities than the
  convex lens of the human eye.
