Are there any examples of fluorescent arthrodial membranes?

07 July 2016 1 8K Report

Mainly looking for arthrodial membranes of insects and arachnids specifically.

Thank you

None that I know of. In our behavioral studies, we painted kissing bugs and ticks with fluorescent paint and tracked their movements with a video camera and fluorescent lamps, working in a dark room. See paper by Milne, Sonenshine and others.
