UV Scorpion
A small scorpion (possibly Genus Lychas), lit up by our UV torch. We saw it (and dozens more) during a night walk in the Cumberland Plain. The endangered and rapidly vanishing Cumberland Plain of Western Sydney is home to many plants, animals and insects. It was a special treat to walk it one warm summer night and watch/hear it come to life. I have long wanted to see a wild scorpion and was delighted when this beauty lit up under the black light. They are shy and recoiled at the light.
