It shows a bumblebee (bombus terrestris) on a Mexican Zinnia (Sanvitalia procumbens) flower in visible light (left part) and UV (right part).
At the same time they will publish our paper:
Stelzer, R. J., N. E. Raine, K. D. Schmitt and L. Chittka (2010). "Effects of aposematic colouration on predation risk in bumblebees? A comparison between differently coloured populations, with consideration of the ultraviolet."
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
