Some animals see ultraviolet radiations (like the bee); others detect infrared (like snakes, for example). We can't see infrared radiations but we can feel it as heat.

bees see UV, it helps them find flowers better (check out some UV photos of flowers, very interesting!!) Pit vipers and python snakes can sense infrared through pits in their face (look like extra nostrils). Bats don't see anything extra, but they "ecolocate" by making high-pitched sounds that bounce off of objects to help them navigate in the dark.

Birds and many insects can see UV. I think reptiles as well.
As for snakes, its true that they can sense IR but they don't use their eyes for it so I don't know if it counts as "see".
Many mention bats but the have very bad vision and I'm certain that they don't see UV or IR. They use sound rather than light for navigation.

Good one. Could there be an insect that can?
