The scorpions we have in Texas glow yellow under a blacklight. Quoting: Hiram's Apprentice Yep, very true. But you gotta admit neon pink ultra-violet squirrels win hands down in the ridiculously, absurdly cute factor. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76108041 [link to earthsky.org (secure)] (less than 50%) "A researcher using a UV flashlight to see whether some backyard frogs glow in the dark (they didn’t) happened to turn his light on a flying squirrel landing on a nearby bird feeder. He was met with a bright neon pink reflection." OP, I wish you would have told me this when I was staring out the windows in high school. It could have made my class time a lot more interesting. |

It's only flying squirrels that flouresce hot neon pink under ultra-violet "black-lights". Regular squirrels don't flouresce any color in the ultraviolet spectrum as far as we know. |

God must've been chuckling "Wait until Man develops black-lights!". The angels must've rolled their eyes and said "you already created kittens, those cute little fluff-balls that purr... Then you gave them razor-blades on the tip of their toes! Also... The platypus! What the heck God, lay off the heavenly nectar!" |

Quoting: Keilani Thank you! May I ask if you can post a picture of the squirrel on the feeder? Not sure what you mean, but I think that sounds like something a mod has to do. I just tried to copy and paste a picture of the neon squirrel, but didn't work, sorry :( |
