I Spy with My... Black Light

Arizona Sonora Desert Museum



Scorpions have a compound in their exoskeleton that fluoresces when exposed to UV light.
This is a "true color" image of what these look like under a black light.
One of my daughter's favorite things to do when visiting the Desert Museum in the evening.
