Under ultraviolet, the forest reveals its secrets." Scorpion in UV light and Web draped in raindrops
“Scorpions have a natural fluorescence that makes their exoskeleton glow under ultraviolet (UV) light. This glow is caused by substances in their cuticle, giving them a striking green-blue shine in the dark. In this rare scene, the scorpion is caught in a spider’s web, with raindrops and silk threads reflecting blue like fiber optics.”
