Has anyone ever hunted scorpions with UV light?

Question

I've heard it's pretty cool & I would be amazed how many scorpions come out at night in the yard or pasture...What kind of light would I purchase to do this?

Answer 1

Any black-light bulb will work. It's the same kind you use for black light posters. Fluorescent strips work the best, but a light bulb shaped one will work as well. You can buy it at most stores.
All scorpions I have seen glowed green or purple, but I am sure there are other colors. We do not have then wild here, but I know people who own them as pets.
