In the report, Brown claims that he has seen a glowing, phosphorescent spider in Burma – more precisely, in Shillong. That is where he spotted a glowing spider that became glowing when it felt endangered. Brown argued that the spider started glowing from six or eight parts of its abdomen, as the lights switched on when it got frightened. 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. Does that make these spiders even creepier-and-crawlier? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Witnesses of wolf spiders have described their eyeshine as diamonds, fallen stars, or even fairy lights, scattered and glistening across the ground. However, not a lot of research has been done into this matter so it is not very clear yet whether there are some spiders that glow in the dark or not. It is clear that spiders glow because of UV light, but not many of them will glow because they will start glowing naturally. Conclusion

With hunting habits like the furry and formidable predator we all know and love, the wolf spider lives up to its namesake . The tapetum lucidum of these night hunters endows them with extraordinary night sight, allowing them to scuttle across all sorts of habitats and digest their victims by injecting them with enzymes strong enough to turn their prey into a smoothie. First, there’s one thing to clarify. When you see these animals at night, their eyes don’t actually “glow,” as in, producing light by themselves. Technically, their eyes are reflecting light from other sources, whether it’s natural starshine or your bright flashlight. 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. Sharks, particularly species who operate in the deep zones of the ocean where sunbeams rarely penetrate the water, rely on their tapetum lucidum. Among a myriad of other sensory adaptations, they take advantage of every scattered photon.I used my handy dandy glue gun to attach spiders to our web. ( Note: Glue guns are hot and I do not let my children help with this part.) Here Come the Spider

There are currently no confirmed spider species that naturally glow in the dark, but there are some spiders that have patterns of pigmentation that make them appear as though they are shining in the dark. No, there are no spiders that light up, but some species of spider have a special reflective layer behind their eyes which can give the appearance of glowing eyes. There have been many reports of spiders glowing in the past, but officially, no spider species are described as glowing spiders. Sneaker reviewer Steve Natto made a YouTube video showing off the stunning glow of these impressive sneakers, including how to get them to glow in the dark.The glow in the dark eyes could be seen when the spiders were placed under light, as an image released by the team reveals. Findings are published in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. Latin for “shining tapestry,” the tapetum looks the part. A cross-section of an eyeball may reveal an iridescent sheet: turquoises and blues and golds swirling like some galactic oil spill.
