Let the position of object be at distance A from origin... Then By ray diagram it can be shown that when insect is to left of A all its reflected will be towards right of A so it cannot see its image bcoz rays are not reaching it..When the insect is right of A its reflected rays will be on both sides of ut that means the insect will be in the field of view of uts inage so it can see its image …
So it can see its image upto origin 
2×t = 3/cos60°× 100 
t= 300 sec.
As diagram is provided in question so it will be easy to understand..
Thanks!! Keep me in your blessing...
