Found in second-growth forest. Unsure of ID. Pictured beside a (presumed) yellow-spotted millipede for reference. It is smaller in size than the yellow-spotted millipede and also has different colouration and body shape.

jaykellerDescription
Scorpions with two metasomae (tails) are extremely rare, with one estimate I saw as one in every 5,000 specimens. This specimen is approximately 3cm long head to stinger and is being maintained in captivity to study its behavior.
I found this using a black light flashlight with BJ Stacey (@finatic) at the Carrie Nation Trailhead parking lot at Madera Canyon, Arizona.
Read a detailed account of this specimen's discovery and observation updates at the journal post linked below:
