Description

[Machine Translation] The human eye sees only three colors: red, blue, and green. Insects and birds, however, can see ultraviolet light. So how exactly do insects and birds see the world? The author built his own ultraviolet camera and photographed animals and plants. The result is an astonishing world. The author found that male and female white butterflies have different colored wings, that the insect sac of a cucurbit reflects ultraviolet light to attract insects, and that civets are identified by their different patterns of ultraviolet light. Explore survival strategies invisible to humans.

Description in Japanese

虫や鳥が見ている世界 紫外線写真が明かす生存戦略 カラー版 (中公新書) / 浅間茂/著

人間の目は、赤・青・緑の3色しか見えない。だが、虫や鳥は紫外線をも見ることができる。では虫や鳥には、世界はいったいどう見えているのか?著者は紫外線カメラを自作し、動物や植物を撮影。そこには驚きの世界が広がっていた―。モンシロチョウは雌雄で翅の色が違い、ウツボカズラの捕虫嚢は紫外線を反射して虫を誘い、ハシブトガラスは紫外色の模様の違いで個体を識別していた。人には見えない生存戦略を探る。
