A normal camera has filters that remove ultraviolet and infrared light and adjusts the spectrum to the human visible light. I have a cheap Panasonic camera where the filters have been removed so you can photograph the full spectrum. The images if not adjusted in software are shades of red as that end of the spectrum is dominant. However, by setting the white balance of black or white areas to be neutral gives insects that are close to their original colour but the foliage is very light and the flowers/seed heads may be a different hue from what the eye sees. The subdued colours and the softness gives a new dimension to my garden friends.
