Imagine you are sitting in a beautiful garden and you are awestruck with with the nature around you. You see different colours of flowers, different kinds of butterfly's, varied plumage of birds and what not....! But there is a different scenario which we cannot imagine of because our eyes perceive up to only a certain wavelength of light and the rest is magic! I mean pure science!! We can see things around us because of two types of photo-receptor cells: rods and cones and we are able to sense colours because of cones, and cones are again of different types, generally humans have 3 but few organisms also have a fourth cone called as tetra chromatic vision such as birds and extinct dinosaurs which helps them to perceive beyond human vision i.e. beyond visible spectra. And there are a few organisms that have more than 10 photo-receptors. Isn't that amazing! The Asian swallowtail is a butterfly that has 6 photo-receptors,the bluebottle butterfly has 15 types of photo-receptor, boas and pythons can see the infrared light, bees and spiders can see through the UV light. Most species of sharks have a special feature called as electroreception that can track down even the faintest smell but i guess there's no organism that can see through radiowaves. I hope this helps!
