Why do scorpions glow on a black light?

Chemistry

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

All scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, such as an electric black light or natural moonlight. The blue-green glow comes from a substance found in the hyaline layer, a very thin but super tough coating in a part of the scorpion's exoskeleton called the cuticle

Answer:

All scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, such as an electric black light or natural moonlight. Much like many other creepy, crawly insects, scorpions like hiding in dark places. ... If you're worried that you may have a scorpion problem, you can use a black light to search for them at night. When a black light hits a scorpion, the proteins on its exoskeleton create a bright neon blue hue.Scorpions do not like heat and bright light. They lose some of what little water they have to evaporation. So they use their sensitivity to UV rays to determine if it's dim enough for them to crawl out and get to business. He thinks that scorpions glow to convert the dim UV light from the moon and the stars into the colour that they see best – blue-green. This could explain why scorpion eyes are so exquisitely sensitive, to the point where they can detect the faint glow of starlight against the background of the night sky.Given the high densities of scorpions in some areas, their importance in ecological food webs, particularly with respect to helping control insect populations, is considerable. Many are sensitive to environmental degradation and are considered equilibrium species. Ecology: Scorpions are primarily nocturnal.Scorpions are preyed upon by large centipedes, tarantulas, lizards, birds (especially owls), and mammals such as bats, shrews, and grasshopper mice.
