Gravitational lensing by two photon spheres in a black-bounce spacetime in strong deflection limits

We investigate gravitational lensing by a primary photon sphere which is a sphere filled with unstable circular light orbits, and by a secondary photon sphere on a wormhole throat in a black-bounce spacetime which is suggested in [F. S. N. Lobo, M. E. Rodrigues, M. V. d. S. Silva, A. Simpson, and M. Visser, Phys. Rev. D 103, 084052 (2021)] in strong deflection limits. There is an antiphoton sphere between the primary photon sphere and the secondary photon sphere. If a light source and an observer are on the same side of the wormhole throat, in addition to an infinite number of images slightly outside of both the primary and secondary photon spheres, an infinite number of images formed by light rays reflected by the potential barrier near the antiphoton sphere, slightly inside the primary photon sphere, might be observed.
