Best Answer

scorpions do

The hyaline layer of a scorpion exoskeleton fluoresces under a UV light, turning teal green. Scientist don't yet understand the material causing it to fluoresce; but scorpion fossils that are millions of years old still fluoresce.

Other animals that fluoresce include crayfish, centipedes, and millipedes.
