Dr. Klaus Schmitt has some utterly amazing photographs that simulate what bees and butterflies can see. They can see ultra-violet wavelengths of light, which we can’t.
Schmitt maps the ultra-violet in the image to blue to make it visible to our eyes.
His site (Photography of the Invisible World (updated)) has a lot more pictures and information about the process.
Well, I’m surprised to find me here, but my main site where I publish my work is uvir.eu

Your work is an awesome blend of art and science. My physics students really liked them – I showed them when we were talking about optics – and came up with some very interesting questions, so they were really thinking about it.
