I was wondering, what other arachnid or insect reacts to the blacklight??

None that I'm aware of.

Some fungi will, though. It's pretty cool -- there's a lichen growing in a park next to where I live that fluoresces as brightly as scorpions.

Scorps only don't glow if they've just molted. Even a dead scorp glows -- I have one that's been dead for 2.5 years and still glows.

I've heard from some folk that if you store a scorpion in liquid after a while the liquid will begin to flouresce too... wonder if it's true.

Maybe? I know that some methods of preservation destroy (or leech out) the fluorescent chemicals -- the preserved scorps at OSU don't fluoresce.
