True or False time

 Do baby  scorpions glow under a black light?

The answer is No!   Scorpions glow due to a protein found in their exoskeleton. It is believed by some that scorpions maybe able to detect UV rays via this protein. Apparently, this protein is not found in the baby scorpions. It may take a few more molts before this protein appears. Then you will be able to see the scorpion under a black light.
