BLACK Light :?: :?

Re: Some more facts
 

UV light (I think).

Old but good, not convinced the cockroach and mantis ones are true think they're based on urban myths and odd experiments....

Re: Some more facts
 

Black lights look just like normal fluorescent lamps or incandescent light bulbs, but they do something completely different. When you switch one on, white clothes, teeth and various other things glow in the dark, while the bulb itself only emits faint purple light. The kind of thing found in clubs and stuff.

I think that the americans call UV 'black light', possibly because 'ultra violet' is too complicated for them.

Re: Some more facts
 

Some species of apes and monkeys do too.
Also some monkeys have been observered doing the five knuckle shuffle :oops:

I'll get me coat.......again.........

Some birds have some photorecptors 'tuned' for UV as rodent wee fluoresces under UV, so they can see where the rodents 'are hanging out'.
