So...Plants can See...They Literally Have Eyes....This Will Change my Writing

White J, Yamashita F. Boquila trifoliolata mimics leaves of an artificial plastic host plant. Plant Signal Behav. 2022 Dec 31;17(1):1977530. doi: 10.1080/15592324.2021.1977530. Epub 2021 Sep 21. PMID: 34545774; PMCID: PMC8903786

As you all know I do have an alien species that builds its body out of plant matter. This information will have a significant effect on how I write their interactions. 
The trees are watching us. 
Trees have eyes. They are not particularly complex eyes. They are in fact the same organs that the plants use to "eat" the light. This allows trees, and other leafy plants to see the general shape of things. The study proved this by having a mimic vine mimic the shape of a plastic leaf. 
Be that as it may, I am quite excited to add another dimension or depth to the science of  my writing. 

In the video below you can see a Boquila trifoliolata attempting this process.
