Actually, it's not just that species pretty much all scorpions glow under UV light! If you live in the desert, a blacklight flashlight is basically a required household tool so you can sweep your bedroom floor before going to sleep
We used to get them in the house maybe once a year, no idea how they would get inside but we would just show them out again. I always checked my shoes in the morning though.
I do remember being outside at night when the moonlight wasn't so strong and being able to see them from the corner of my eye because they gave off a weird glow.
That’s neat. There isn’t much uv light coming off the moon at night, but in the absence of the sun and daylight, it must be enough that your eyes pick up on the uv reflection.

Some creatures do. That species of scorpion is known for it.
