Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera and are found throughout the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, Australia and New Zealand. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders.
Phosphorescent paint is commonly called glow-in-the-dark paint. It is made from phosphors such as silver-activated zinc sulfide or doped strontium aluminate, and typically glows a pale green to greenish-blue color.
A mixture of cyan and yellow paint will then subtract both blue and red light. Because the primary colors of light are red, blue, and green, we will see the reflected green light if we mix cyan and yellow paint. Black paint absorbs all light and white paint reflects all light.
