Insects have a wide range of vision that extends across various spectra of light. While the specific range of wavelengths that insects can see may vary among different species, many insects are known to be sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. In fact, insects often have specialized photoreceptor cells that allow them to perceive UV light, which is invisible to humans.
In addition to UV light, insects can typically see in the visible spectrum, which includes wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 nanometers (nm) to 700 nm. This corresponds to the colors of the rainbow, from violet to red. However, it's important to note that insect vision may differ from human vision in terms of color perception and sensitivity to certain wavelengths.
Overall, insects have a broader range of vision compared to humans and can perceive ultraviolet light, which provides them with additional information about the world around them, including patterns on flowers, nectar guides, and other important visual cues for foraging and mating.
