These amazing pictures of Spring crocus (Crocus vernus) were taken by Norwegian scientist-cameraman Bjorn Roslett. The top picture was taken in natural light and the bottom one in ultraviolet light. The top picture shows how the flower looks to our human eyes. The bottom picture shows how the flower looks to an insect. See the three rings of color? These help guide insects to the center of the flower so they can find the pollen and nectar...kind of like "landing strips" that airplanes use to land on runways! Read more HEREDO THIS AT HOME:
