I was think how hard it is to see eggs unless the sun is shining the right way. Then I remember playing with a black light. You when you walk into a club and your white shirt turns blue. Well I was wondering it the same thing happens to a white egg. I was thinking about getting a small black light like the kind banks use to scan money to look for the hidden seals. Has anyone tried this and is it worth spending the money on a black light.

I don't know about the black light, but I have switched over to black plastic foundation and that makes finding eggs very easy.

+1 on black plastic foundation.  Really makes them so much easier to see.

No, haven't tried a black light.  Interesting question.

i will try it next time.  seems an interesting idea...and i have a black light.  try ebay for a good one.  some that i found in the stores were not so good and the ones that were, were expensive.  found a nice one on ebay and it did not cost so much.
