314 / 365 Blue Light Special


We’re presently visiting my sister-in-law C and her husband H in Arizona, where we learned that scorpions are a particularly bothersome nuisance.  Locals know that the best way to detect the critters is to shine a blue light on them, which causes the Day-Glo effect seen on the successfully captured (and quite dead) invader above.  Small blue-light flashlights are readily available in stores all over town; C and H keep theirs close by for sweeping the dark corners of the house.  We’re all watching our step.
