Again, UV wins! I have to practice doing that!

These are lovely images but how are they "simulated" perceptions by bees or other insects?

Thanks Peter. This (my) simulation is restricted to mapping their visible spectral range using special filters into our human limited trichromatic spectral range blue to red.
