There is no appreciable difference between the narrow- and broad-band UV captures so basically this species provides the same UV signature over the spectral range used by pollinators. Whether this is a general trend for flowers is not yet clear. Making narrow-band captures and in particular deep into UV-A/UV-B entails a significant loss of UV response by the camera so, technically speaking, broad-band records are less demanding and easier to accomplish.
