How about some arizona bark scorpions, one under normal light... and one fluorescing under black light.

Black lights are very useful for finding scorpions at night, because they fluoresce under such light. (Often fluorescing shades of blue or green).

They should, however, not be exposed to them long term, as the exoskeleton can be damaged from prolonged exposure.

Striped bark scorpion stings are painful but rarely deadly (as is in the case of an allergy, for example). However, the stings of other members of their genus can be very dangerous, so be careful out there :)
