Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do all organisms see the same wavelengths for light?

Why do human eyes only register information from the visible spectrum of light? Do all organisms only see in the visible spectrum? Or does each species (Or even individuals within a species) have access to slightly different wavelengths of light?
I would think that evolving the ability to see in a vast light spectrum (one that includes infrared, for example) would be beneficial towards survival, but I don't know if any organisms have done that.
