Scorpion Hunt

What nocturnal desert creatures glow neon green under a black light? Scorpions! After a short discussion about scorpions, we will go on a walk with black lights! Participants should wear close-toed walking shoes (no sandals, please), dress in layers for the weather, and bring water and insect repellant. A limited number of black lights will be available to borrow, but feel free to bring your own.
