In ultraviolet light, some types of scorpions glow blue. Their exoskeletons are reacting to a type of light that human eyes can't see. Scientists are not sure just why this happens to scorpions. One theory is that the glow warns them when parts of their body aren't properly hidden, and could give them away.
