Pretty sure the wording is inverse. Perception is when your brain processes stimuli

That's what I'm saying. They perceive that something big is near them, but they can't see it because it's so massive that they can't take it in. I would imagine a similar thing might occur if you were swimming in the deep ocean and a whale came past you, the only difference being that you might think "was that a whale?" Whereas a bug is most likely "thinking" "what the hell was THAT?"
