Very cool! I heard there are a lot of fluorescent things on alcatraz since this

There are a few bioluminescent millipedes but that article refers to a very common feature of millipedes, and one found in pretty much all the large flat millipedes found throughout the country -- the ability to fluoresce under black light. It would be like a sensational article about fluorescing scorpions.

Do these millipedes have to be under a UV light to glow?
