I didn't know that Bombi could have survival problems due to their UV. Very interesting. So many things to learn in life. Congratulations on your cover!

Well deserved, Klaus! It was only a matter of time until your excellent work would be published this way in a magazine. Not to forget the work shown in the nice BBC series. Soon you don't want to talk again to us lowly mortals Wink

Thanks Peter, but I feel that my feet are very solid still on ground Wink Wink
Of course I feel honored and I am proud that after many years of hard
work to explore that difficult exotic field, now some "rewards" and
acknowledgement has been reached in the scientifc and art world.

The cover image looks terrificly good, Klaus.
So much interesting about how insects have a different look on their same beings and not only on the flowers.
My insane curiousity would lead me to ask you how a human face would appear to a bee or butterfly. Have you ever made such a picture?

Thanks Orio. Actgually that right part of the bee/flower is just UV,
not what a bee can see in total. We humans see blue, green, red,
bees can see UV, blue and green (roughly speaking). I have developed
a special mapping method which I have shown here quite often, which
simulates that (and only that, not the compound eye etc. and
the very different neural optical processing system...).

So we humans would see about that:


a butterfly (which as a tratrachromat sees UV, blue, green, red) that


and a bee/bumblebee would see that


Humans don't look that pretty through such filters, quite eery
actually...

Dr. Schmitt, you've got competition! Very Happy 8-Year-Olds Publish Scientific Bee Study

Wonderful, I even encourage that! The New York Botanical Garden just got my permission (for free)
to use some of my images for teaching children about bee vision.

Klaus, how do we know how bees, butterfly see?
Colour, B&W, wavelengths?

That is great Klaus! And the whole of human knowledge moves forward with babies steps. As it should be!
