Asian forest scorpion behavior

Honestly I have no idea why it's doing this.

New to keeping Asian forest scorpions and I'm not sure what this behavior means. The whole tail is submerged. Anyone have any idea why it's doing this?

I have a good feeling it's its not doing it on purpose to wash anything. It's likely just a coincidence

But it's fine that it's just chilling like that?

It shouldn't be a problem. If you feel anxious just tap the glass to try get it to move or coax it away from water dish with a paintbrush.

When scorpions explore their enclosures they always use the corners as a possible escape route as there are two sides for leverage and to gain maximum height they always stand on their tails. You just happen to have a water dish in one of the corners and he/she can gain extra height from standing in the water dish.

Merely coincidence and not concerning.

What does the whole setup look like?

Like this. I've moved the airplants but everything else is the same.
