EDITORS COMMENTS
Peek-a-boo, I see you! This Borneo giant forest scorpion knows how to find the perfect hiding spot inside a fallen hollow log. With its vibrant blue color and impressive size, it's hard to miss this arachnid beauty in the heart of Danum Valley, Sabah. Photographer Nick Garbutt captured this incredible moment using both natural light and UV light, revealing the scorpion's true luminosity. The contrast between the two images is simply mesmerizing! This Asian giant forest scorpion seems right at home in its tropical rainforest habitat on Borneo Island. Its long limbs and burrowing abilities make it a master of disguise and survival. As we admire this stunning creature from afar, let's remember that it belongs to the fascinating world of invertebrates. From its chelicerate characteristics to its unique ability to fluoresce under UV light, there is so much more than meets the eye with this little arthropod. So next time you're exploring nature or just flipping through breathtaking photographs like these, take a moment to appreciate all the wonders our planet has to offer – even if they come in small (and sometimes scary) packages!
