What Bugs See



Most insects have bichromatic vision. Bees and butterflies have trichromatic vision like we do. Frequency response curves can be seen here. Because bugs see UV light, they see things we can't.

I found the site naturfotograf.com via del.icio.us. It has a lot of cool UV pictures of flowers that can give you a better idea of what bugs see.
