Although "well said", Harold didn't day it all. What we see as hot pink says nothing about what the butterfly sees. These beasts see UV reflections and other wavelengths that we do not see, so what looks like a high impact colour to us may be black to a butterfly.

Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”
