I vaguely remember in Dawkins' book that he said he was going to put a touch-sensitive screen near some flowers to see if any of the biomorphs would attract bees. The idea was that the biomorphs would evolve to be ever more pleasing to bees, and it would be interesting to see what patterns they took. Does anyone else recall this, or is it a figment of my imagination? I don't suppose anyone has tried this? Could be fun to try with an iPad.
This sounds like a great project! Worth bearing in mind though that computer screens only output in RGB, whereas the colour vision of bees is shifted to that of people; it's more G-B-UV than RGB.
