Join us to hike & explore this exciting night adventure where scorpions ๐Ÿฆ‚ are 99.9 % easily spotted under UV. With normal powerful torchlight, you still have challenges spotting them as the forest gets pitch dark.

With UV, there's no need to hunt for them high and low,๐Ÿฆ‚ as they are active at night and the UV will easily show you, even from a few meters away! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. We had ever found 7 of them on a single tree. When a special UV frequency light is used, every creature that fluorescence suddenly appears everywhere in a different colour. โจas shown in the above & latest pic belowโฉ.

Common creatures sighted were wild boars, mouse-deer, various weird-looking types of ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ, bats, giant ants, termites & moths etc. Bonuses are ๐Ÿ, sambar deer etc. Glowing mushrooms & fireflies have been spotted on this trail - with sharp eyes. Other than ๐Ÿฆ‚, many plants, and fungi also fluorescence under UV like chlorophyll, lichens, carnivorous plants like pitchers etc.

Many arthropods (insects, spiders, and relatives) have a secret: they glow under ultraviolet light. Scorpions and some relatives produce a blue-green glow via fluorescence. Under ultraviolet light, molecules in their exoskeleton absorb and re-emit UV as visible light.

Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, and microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria, and terrestrial arthropods such as fireflies.

The most famous bioluminescent species on land are glowworms and fireflies.
