Has anyone ever hunted scorpions with UV light?

Any black-light bulb will work. It's the same kind you use for black light posters. Fluorescent strips work the best, but a light bulb shaped one will work as well. You can buy it at most stores. \n    All scorpions I have seen glowed green or purple, but I am sure there are other colors. We do not have then wild here, but I know people who own them as pets.

all the light did was attract the fish lol. If fishing at night the fish will got to a light source in water. On pole or not on pole lol.

Smoke or fog will work.  There are also 100mW red lasers out there (wickedlasers.com should do the trick) that have some visibility in daylight, but this always depends on there being something (even the tiniest amount of dust) in the air to scatter off of.

i have. it was the only thing i could catch in the desert i was stranded in (near cali/arizona border) and i was 2 months pregnant. i couldn't catch the damn jackrabbits. i got one of those great big rats by the tail and swung it down really hard like five times to bash its skull in until it was dead. then i cooked it over my campfire. the hardest part was picking out all those little bones. and don't try to eat the tail. i thought it would be a delicacy, but it was damn near impossible to chew.

I found some on the floor on Bank Street in Sheffield, England. They only had one lens, and weren't the right prescription, but I can't see the sun any more.

Only the ones that have a UV tube in them. Ionization does not produce ozone.

I'm a bit more sceptical to the lens since glass normally blocks UV light. You need special glass to get the UV part of  the light to pass through. This isn't an answer to the question, it's just so you wont get fooled by the current answers.

They are arachnids.\n\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/oct96/du_scorpion.html\n\n"The venom of this scorpion can cause severe pain and swelling at the site of the sting, numbness, frothing at the mouth, respiratory difficulties, muscle twitching, and convulsions. The sting is more dangerous to infants, small children and the elderly. Death is rare, especially in more recent times."

I was going to say pseudo-scorpion, a very common arachnid related to scorpions and spiders, but with no tail stinger, but then I saw the size in your details.\n\nThe only critter I can think of in North America that could possibly be that large is one of the types of crayfish.\n\nHere is a site with some pretty good crayfish pictures: http://www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk/Shrimp.htm?crayfishamerica.html~mainFrame\n\nIf you were in more tropical climes, I would guess that it might be some form of crab, such as a land crab or robber crab.

Canadian Tire sells a 1 million candle power flashlight.  It's super super bright and would definitly stun and possibly blind someone.  It's kind of big though.  Another option is a large Mag light.  The beam wouldn't stun anyone, but it would make a great weapon!

Here's a good rule of thumb:  if prolonged exposure doesn't give you a sunburn, the UV light probably isn't going to damage your eyes.

I don't think there is anyway to stop scorpions, I guess the best thing to do is contact the campground office and ask them, they should be able to give you some tips. HAVE FUN!

Owl are night hunters and see quite well in very dim light. Bats would be the best choice but they don't really see well at all because they depend on a type of radar.

Its a high frequency low wavelength light.can you see UV? no right? so it appears black.. also its monochomatic that you dont see the tinge of other light or colour...
