Not necessarily. Insects don’t really see you, they see something and all that something equates to is stimulus that reaches a threshold and compels the organism to act or react. It’s less “Ehrmagherd giant!” And more “Ehrmagherd the shadow or light changed!”
They don’t need to be able to render “you” visually to respond to cues to avoid you. They need just enough to survive.
