Summary[edit]

Description

A more recent photo of Alexial the deathstalker scorpion, Leiurus quinquestriatus, under a blacklight. This time she's all grown up! View large.

You should NEVER leave a blacklight on a scorpion long-term. The intense UV rays will eventually kill the nocturnal animal. Some pet stores market scorpion habitats with blacklights because they look cool, but they don't tell you the facts.

This photo was also used in an article about scorpions on airplanes: <a href="http://houstonist.com/2007/01/10/scorpions_on_pl.php" rel="nofollow">houstonist.com/2007/01/10/scorpions_on_pl.php</a>
