Greetings:
I was recently watching a show on the Discovery Channel about the habits of scorpions. All of the night shots were obviously done inside in controlled conditions and what struck me the most was the lighting that was used for shooting the scorpions at night. It was as if the scorpion was actually under the light of a partial moon and the stars. There was enough light to view the scorpion very well, yet not enough to disturb it. I had been using UV to view my Pandinus at night, but began to notice he would shy away after awhile and retreat to his hide. I have also read that UV light actually bothers scorpions. I want to know what the lighting was that the crew used to shoot the scorpions for the show. Was it conventional lights behind some kind of diffuser or gel, or was it perhaps LED lighting? Let me know about any suggestions you have, or if someone out there already has a solution of their own.
Thanks!
