Fluorescing scorpions

[Eclectix]

Virtually all scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light. These two emperor scorpions usually appear black under normal light, but they appear bright bluish-green under a black light as shown here. I used alittle bit of supplemental light to show their environment as well; without it, they seem to just be sitting in blackness and it just didn't look quite right.
