Animals see different wave lengths of light than the human eye sees.
The colors we see are not necessarily what the inhabitants of the jungle(this applies to all life on earth) see.
Patterns that evolved are based on what worked in making species successful in mating, hunting or eluding predation.
In fact there are patterns visible in other wavelengths we are just discovering.
