Most bees, ants, and the like have three receptors, like humans; most birds have four, a few birds and many butterflies have five. The tetrachromat version is a legit perk, but it's mostly for being a tetrachromat, not for being UV sensitive.
In any case, having read through it, most problems are the fault of Basic, and thus out of scope for a supplement to do anything about. The exceptions are:
Normal Senses and Modifiers
Seems to be treating vision as 20p, hearing as 10p, smell as 2p, touch as 10p. Given that Blind is [-50], Deaf is [-20], No Sense of Smell is [-5], and Numb is [-20], those numbers are odd.
The Mark 1 Eyeball
The 20:20 letters on a Snellen eye chart are 0.35", not 0.07"; using a SM of -18 is equivalent to saying a human has SM -6 because his legs are only 6" wide.
