WHY DO SCORPIONS GLOW IN UV LIGHT? - PAPA HAS THE ANSWER!
Time to break out my lab coat to share a little bit about this incredible characteristic of the scorpion!
Today's question is "Why do scorpions glow under UV light?" For those of you who did not know already, all scorpions have the built in capability to light up with florescent colors under Ultra Violet light.
Thankfully, @papa-pepper has a lab coat and intends to answer this question, while sharing some other interesting facts about these incredible creatures.
Always one to be prepared, @papa-pepper has a scorpion ready for action, because simply sharing about something is far less entertaining than actually demonstrating it.
Here we can see that the scorpion certainly does glow under the UV light, but to learn why, you'll have to watch the video. Enjoy the show.
WHY? - The Video
I think that next time I break out the lab coat, it will have to be for an experiment. Hopefully you learned something today, other than the fact that scorpions are "cockroach fast."
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

you are all right @bigpanda, but I recommend you so do I in not having scorpions like pets hehe. It is an interesting and original post and work of you @papa-pepper! Greetings both of you!
Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement.
Thanks @paolasofy25! I don't think I will be keeping any scorpions as pets.
thank you, I'm glad that I could share some interesting information. Now you know!
I find this animal very dangerous and at the same time amuse me!
Same here.
Thank god for that lab coat or this would have sucked!!!
Kidding of course ;-)>
How did you grab it so fast...just squeeze it by the stinger?? Also how did you know it was a girl?
Yes, catch it by the tail. Here is a video of how I do it.
Also, it had babies, so that was the giveaway that it was a female.
Wow. I'm surprised the babies stayed on its back when you grabbed it!
Awesome video man. I'm in the southwest, and we have those nasty things all over.
And you are right about "cockroach fast"....I squash them before even thinking about whether it would be fun to tempt fate and grab it by the tail.

There is as well some glowing mushrooms they look very cool okay have a nice day :)
I agree, pretty cool post!
That's super interesting to know @papa-pepper! Amazing that you found out this one is female! Great job doc!
I think they glow for mainly be alert when there is a full moon so that they stay hidden! Well I guess so!
