Actually, all scorpions glow in the dark. There is a chemical compound that courses through their intestinal track and when they are digesting food, this compound is activated and releases a substance much like fluorescence. When you see a scorpion glowing in the night, you know it is digesting its food. Yet you can only see a scorpion glow in the dark under UV light.
