Most likely intermediates of shades we already see... ie our eyes are VGA monitors (seeing all the colors we need to see), reptiles are SVGA (seeing lots and lots of intermediates).
We see "blue, blue-green, cyan, green-blue, green". They see "blue, blue-aqua, aqua, aqua-blue, blue-green, turquoise, turqoise-cyan, cyan... etc..."
At least, that's just my opinion.

they do see into a more ultraviolet spectrum. This helps them pick up on the light reflection coming off of the insects exoskeloton. I don't think it would look the same as it does on infrared monitor screens but probally glows brighter to pinpoints the source.

I didn't know that! it must be that they can see into the ultraviolet and/or infared spectrum.
Read up on the electromagnetic spectrum - it's very interesting:

They see in ultraviolet light. It's like when you would get high and see everything brighter and make stuff look tie dye-ish. Lol. J/k. IDK
