G'day Alan,

> And paintings of daisies don't do

Someone with you're abilities would've revolutionized entomology -
wasn't until fairly recently that they realised flowers have UV markers which
are the equivalent to the bees etc of flashing neon signs saying "get it
here!". Guess us 'mundanes' just weren't up to the job;)

It interesting to see where such things are leading us, my sister recently had
her dyslexia cured by the prescription of UV opaque glasses.

Its fun to think of all the battlefield faux pas that could occur when two new
species meet hey?;)

Human scout: "No I'm not on something they're REALLY wearing flaming orange
and pink"

Kra'Vak scount: "No I'm not on something they're REALLY wearing green and
black!"

Meanwhile on the other flank...

Phalon scout: "No I'm not on something they're REALLY warm blooded, they light
up like Nargellian glowbugs"...

Cheers

Beth
