Beetles stand out using 'Avatar' tech
Date:4/19/2010

only the second species on Earth known to be sensitive to CP lightthe other being a species of shrimp.

Because ability to see CP light is very rare in nature, it's not likely that any of the beetles' predators can see it. So the ability to both see and reflect CP light probably evolved to allow jewel scarabs to communicate with each other while staying hidden from predators, but Brady and Cummings are planning more research to see exactly how these beetles use this very rare way of seeing and being seen.
