Butterflies, like most insects, have two large compound eyes made up of hundreds of smaller lenses that combine images to form a larger picture of the insect's environment. The resolving power of these individual eyes is not great, probably detecting levels of light and dark and colour perception, but the combination adds up much like the individual pixels of the image on your computer screen or TV set.
Like most flying insects, butterflies also have three ocelli that are found on their heads between their eyes, basically forming a triangle on their 'forehead'. These ocelli are sensitive to polarized light and assist the flying insect in navigation and balance, detecting the horizon and sky and direction of sunlight.

Have you considered that the reason your child is not listening to you the first time is because up until now, there has been no consequence that she doesn't like when she doesn't listen to you the first time? It's never good to yell and it's really not necessary (as long as she's a normal child and the problem isn't caused by chemical imbalance). Is her behavior consistent all the time with different people at different places? Is she the same at school as at home? If not, the problem is you. As the adult, you should be able to control her with your actions to her actions without yelling. She should see consistent consequences that she doesn't like when she doesn't act as she should and consistent, good consequences when she does. You need to pay very close attention to her likes and dislikes in life and control them... consistently. And no fudging! You've got to be consistent! So consistent, in fact, that she can predict the consequences of her behavior everytime even before she does something she's not supposed to do (so she can choose not to if she knows she won't like what will happen next). And remember, no yelling. You are in control.

Butterflies have compound eyes
"Compound eyes are made up of many hexagonal lens/corneas which focus light from each part of the insect's field of view onto a rhabdome (the equivalent of our retina). An optic nerve then carries this information to the insect's brain. Butterflies and moths see very differently from us; they can see ultraviolet rays (which are invisible to us). "

yes they do. consider this, as caterpillars they have to be able to see the world around them to watch out for predators,, and then they have huge eyes! only becaus ethey live most of their life as caterpillars. anyway, butterflies have eyes, the only thing is that during metamorphosis in the cocoon, their bodies change completely, and so do their eyes! they actually become a little smaller, I suppose it is because they need to weigh less to fly, you understand!

Yes they do, but they're not like our eyes. They are compound eyes made up of many lenses. They probably use their antennae as their main sense organ though.

Yes, compound eyes made up of hundreds of individual lenses.

Yes, they're compound eyes, they have many lenses in each 'eye'.
