Animals and plants that glow like that are so cool! We live in such a magical world, and photos like this remind me that the magic starts right at our doorsteps.
Yes, exactly! I'm glad to share the wonder I perceive, but I know there are incredible creatures each of us can come across when we take the time to notice them
Oh wow, you actually did it!! That's so great to see :O I wish I had a blacklight, too. Would be great to attract some moths, too.

They're very inexpensive in the cat section of your nearby pet store, most likely. I think ours was maybe ten bucks.
Either way, I am very happy to share and appreciate you prompting me to do this!
