Here is a close-up of what our web looks like in the daytime. Now for my favorite part . . . . Glow in the Dark Spider Web Kids Activity

Spiders need to be able to see in low light to hunt their prey, which is usually small insects and occasionally other spiders.For sharks that also frequent the shallower parts of the sea, their tapeta can darken during the day to deal with the brighter conditions – sort of like donning a pair of sunglasses. These spiders are the first Lagonomegopidae that have not been preserved in amber to be discovered. How they ended up in the shale formation is unclear, but Selden says it could have been that they were washed into a body of water where they were protected from decaying bacteria. When light passes through our eyes, it hits our retinas, composed of cells called rods or cones. Rods are useful in darker settings, acting as receptors of light. Cones constitute much of our daytime vision, letting us perceive the world in detail and color. This feature is mostly visible with scorpions, which are the most notable animals that glow under UV light. Their exoskeletons will create a chemical reaction when they are exposed to such light. The exoskeleton will thus start absorbing this light and once enough of it is gathered, it will start glowing. The most significant report of glowing spiders comes from 1925 when paleontologist Barnum Brown spotted a glowing spider species while traveling in Burma. His findings were published in the scientific journal Nature in 1925.

Many arthropods including spiders and scorpions are known to glow under UV light. It’s also possible that the webs of spiders will also shine when they are exposed to UV light.Dip the yarn in the glue to completely coat. Use fingers and glide across yarn to push off any extra glue. ( Note: Little hands will love this, but it can get a little messy. Our easily wiped off our table, but you could lay down newspaper to make clean-up easier if you like) Spider Web Craft When looking at the stunning white and red Air Jordan 1s, your first assumption might not be that the red outsole would glow in the dark because it seems completely normal at first glance, but surprisingly, it does!
