Nope . . . no idea where it is.

Same thing happens on film. This scorpion is so much like our endemic Urodacus genus....almost identical.

That's really cool about your local species, Mark. Not to get off-topic, but do you know any way to photograph the total visible emission without some crazy expensive filter? I can't even get it to look right in photoshop.

Sorry, I dont. I have made the alteration digitally and it is a bit of hit and miss that's for sure. If you have a fancy digital camera with white balance preset controls you may be able to use a grey card and preset the colour balance, or adjust the colour balance manually if your cameras allows that. My digital SLR has colour balance adjustments, maybe I'll give the uv thing another go some time.
