This is my baby H.cavimanus (spelling) under a black light. One of my favorite things to photograph.

Thanks. I think the scientific name is cavimanus...anyways its an african red clawed scorpion.

I hooked the camera up to my tripod and got some way better, less blurry pictures. Will post in a little bit.

:D That's because there is none. He means Pandinus cavimanus

Nice UV-shots, btw:D
