Looks very like this one Max photographed on our place at Brogo: https://atlasoflife.naturemapr.org/Sightings/3361718
Scorpions are not insects, but arachnids like spiders (8 legs, not 6), and placed under terrestrial invertebrates for ALCW reporting.

The colouration and bulging pedipalps (pincers) indicate Cercophonius rather than the more slender Lychas.
