Summary:

To humans, butterflies are some of the most beautifully coloured animals on Earth.

But how do other butterflies see these colour signals? Do they pay attention to them?

The latest information about colouration and vision in butterflies will be presented to answer these questions. This reveals a great deal about how organisms other than humans see each other and their world.
