This video shows hornbill’s incredible anting behavior 🦜🐜, where it lets ants crawl and bite to release formic acid, cleaning its feathers,removing parasites,boosting feather growth. Despite the pain, the benefits make it worth it- fascinating example of nature's self-care

This video shows "Rainaway" TV lens
When filming outdoors in wet conditions, raindrops on a lens can obstruct the view and ruin the footage. This lens solves the problem by using water repellent technology, rotation to ensure a clean and clear view

While these are all great hypotheses, more research is needed to confirm exactly why scorpions glow under UV light. Nature often evolves fascinating traits with multiple purposes, and this glowing phenomenon might even serve additional functions we haven’t discovered yet! 🦂✨

It could act as a sort of built-in "signaling system" to distinguish their own species from other creatures.

b. Another theory is that fluorescence helps scorpions recognize each other. Since scorpions are generally solitary but occasionally interact for mating or territory purposes, the glow might help them identify other scorpions in the dark.

For example, if there’s still too much sunlight or moonlight (which also contains UV), they might stay hidden to avoid predators or desiccation (drying out in the sun).

a.Scorpions are nocturnal creatures, meaning they are most active at night and avoid sunlight. The compounds in their exoskeleton that react to UV light might act as a natural "light sensor." By detecting UV radiation, scorpions could determine whether it’s safe to come out of their hiding places

The glowing trait of scorpions under UV light could help them in several ways, and while scientists don’t know the exact reason, there are several theories:

Scorpions exoskeleton contains special compounds (a mix of beta-carboline and other fluorescent chemicals) that fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. This means that when UV light hits them, they glow in a greenish-blue color.
