Indeed. My answer was based on certain sea snakes using dermal photo reception to determine whether their tails are concealed or not; great fact even if it’s not the right one!
That's interesting, Tetzoo Quizzer, I haven't heard about that before.
Found it searching for the required answer.
The light-detecting eye spots are black
What about certain Lacertid lizards, possibly wall lizards, controlling their basking behaviour?

Photoperiodism, detecting whether it is concealed, camouflage, sidereal behaviour, thermal regulation; I’ve tried examples of most of these, none of which seem to require spots.
None of those, Tetzoo Quizzer. As no other Zoochatters seem to be taking part, put all the words, including the word 'black' from the question into an internet search.

Well done, Tetzoo Quizzer
It's your turn
