UV/WaterBug

[FFScorpion]

Does any body knows any invertebrates that glows under uv light like a scorpion?

How big was the biggest Giant Water bug you have ever seen??

solphugids and certain grasshoppers glow under UV light, but not as extreme as scorpions.

Giant water bug, was many years ago, but LARGE about 2 inches long if your speaking about the ones with oblong bodies and 2 giant spike tipped arms.

I´ll try to find those, not sure if i can

About the waterbug, I don´t know if I´m talking about the same animal but over here in Brasil I´m almost sure that there is waterbug about 5.5 inches, its huge and it has a orange V on its back. I may be telling you a lie but I´m going to find out.


Thanks any way

some millipede like creatures.. not sure if thats what they are, but i can find them at my moms at night with a blcklight, the lay out in the grass in the cooler sumer night air, their legs and parts of the exoskeleton glow in UV light

I have seen giant asian water bugs that were easily 5 inches in length (not including arms).
