Scorpion

The packaging had a green scorpion painted on it so Winston painted his green. He then wanted to know why this scorpion was green. Thanks to the internet I now know that the scorpions hard body is covered by a glassy layer which makes them fluoresce green when exposed to ultraviolet light.
