| This piece is listed as having Trans-Neon Green as one of its colours.
The neon colours glow under a black light (if you don't have a black light
and have never seen this then invest in one and be amazed!) but these don't,
which makes me wonder whether (a) the colour is listed wrong or (b) I bought
counterfeit Lego which doesn't have the neon qualities and is just a colour
match.
Does anybody elses glow under a black light?

Nope, the part does not fluoresce under UV light. But LEGO does list the color
as TRANSPARENT FLUORESCENT GREEN (which is Trans-Neon Green on BrickLink), so
the part is definitely classified correctly.

I have some of that part in trans-neon green, and I can concur that it does not
phosphoresce under UV light. To the naked eye, under normal light, however,
it does appear just like other trans-neon green parts. The difference must be
the plastic material those parts are made out of. It is a non-ABS slightly bendable
plastic.

Its likely made out of Polythene like other plant elements.
