Claims10
A lure comprising:
- a first portion having a surface reflection which substantially matches the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal that it is designed to mimic and having at least one ultraviolet wavelength between 300 and 400 nanometers;
- and
- a second portion having a surface reflection which substantially matches the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal that it is designed to mimic and having at least one wavelength in the spectrum that is visible to humans.
A lure comprising:
- a first portion having a surface reflection which substantially matches the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal that it is designed to mimic and having at least one ultraviolet wavelength between 300 and 400 nanometers;
- a second portion having a surface reflection which substantially matches the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal that it is designed to mimic and having at least one wavelength in the spectrum that is visible to humans;
- and
- wherein said surface reflection is achieved with a peak normalized reflection of the ultraviolet wavelength of greater than 20%.

A method of making a mimetic lure comprising:
- determining at least a portion of the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal;
- providing a first color to a first portion of the lure such that the first portion has a surface reflection having at least one ultraviolet wavelength between 300 and 400 nanometers;
- providing a second color to a second portion of the lure such that the second portion has a at least one wavelength in the spectrum that is visible to humans;
- and
- wherein the first and second colors match at least part of the spectral reflectance pattern of an animal that the lure is designed to mimic.
