| Why
do scorpions glow in the dark? |
All
scorpions glow in the dark-even after death, even fossilized!
A thin, transparent film (hyaline) in the outermost layer
(cuticle) of their exoskeleton contains a protein that
fluoresces. At night in the Arizona desert, you can see
scorpions within a 20-foot radius by shining a black light
(ultraviolet light) around. They glow green-yellow or
bright florescent green. Newly molted (babies) scorpions
don't fluoresce. As the cuticle hardens, it glows more.
Fluorescence, however, is not really 'glowing in the dark'
in the sense of emitting light on their own, without (ultraviolet)
illumination, like fireflies or light sticks. They don't
actually glow in the dark. They do, however, fluoresce
in black light (ultraviolet light) meaning that if you
shine ultraviolet light on a scorpion (dead or alive!)
then they will emit a fluorescent green glow. Even after
hundreds of millions of years, after all other cuticle
layers are lost, the hyaline layer remains, fossilized
in rocks, the scorpion still glows.
