This is cool, but they aren't the only nocturnal critter to be blacklight-responsive. The scorpions we have in Texas glow yellow under a blacklight.

Yep, very true. But you gotta admit neon pink ultra-violet squirrels win hands down in the ridiculously, absurdly cute factor.

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.

Yes it is! 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!"
