There's a biological principle that the beautiful things are the most deadly. I think the reasoning behind is if an organism has no natural defenses, then their best defence is camouflage, so they usually have drab colors to blend in with their environment and conceal themselves from predators.

Basically, if an organism is highly visible, it means there's something so dangerous about it that it doesn't need to hide.
