Scorpions have proteins in their exoskeletons that convert UV light into a glowing tan. There are small UV flashlights on the market with which you can easily detect the presence of these small predators in the dark.

Newbie Tip:
Once you've found a scorpion, take a good look at how best to approach it without disturbing it. The fewer vibrations you generate yourself, the greater the chance of success. If he does run away, there is a good chance that he will return within ten minutes. So remember where you saw him and come back later.
You don't have to make a full-screen macro image of these animals, its characteristic shape comes out best if you give it a little more space in your image. Set your camera to manual exposure and start shooting around 15 seconds, f8 and 400 iso.
The final exposure depends on the power of your flashlight, the distance from which you shine and any ambient light present. After the first shot, assess your image and adjust your exposure factors to achieve a correctly exposed image.

Pro Tip:
For a nice even lighting, move your light around the scorpion. This will fill your drop shadow and the entire scorpion will be well exposed. Do you want more depth of field? Then experiment with the Laowa 15mm macro

How do you make this image?
Lens: Laowa 15mm macro
Settings: Low ISO, aperture pinched, long exposure from tripod
And then: Very slowly tilt your tripod forward so that the lens is a few centimeters above the subject. Check your focus point on your LCD screen. Flip up the mirror for a shake-free shot and move the UV flashlight around the subject for an even exposure
