Really cool. Still, I'm a bit surprised that it took them this long to figure this out. Scientists have known for a long time that insects were attracted to flowers through ultraviolet light. Did they really never consider UV with CPs until now?

I saw an article about this a few months ago, then it just disappeared for a while.
Now, this is starting to be picked up again.
It is quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

That really cool! Maybe someone should develop bug attractant/traps with a blue UV paint instead of horrid smelly attractant
