| while doing a check of the smaller scorps with the blacklight, i noticed loads of little white dots (slightly lighter than the bean) on the beans and assumed they were eggs or something. so, i shined the blacklight on them and they glowed! not like what something white does, it was just like a scorp. i thought that only scorps can do this... ???  | |
